EPUBReader is a fast and lightweight HTML5 based ebook reader. Reads ebooks in the EPUB format without DRM Only reader which opens ebooks directly from websites (right 'read and change all your data on the websites you visit' needed) Only reader which opens ebooks by double-clicking in the file explorer Opens the ebooks in memory at the location where they are stored. Ebooks.com has DRM-free ebooks as well as ones restricted with DRM. However, you can filter search results to only show you the DRM-free ones. E-Books Directory- No cost eBooks, documents, and lectures from all over the internet, available in PDF format and organized by subjects. Free-ebooks.net- Free eBooks in various formats.

We recommend that you always read ebooks using Calibre or some other free software ereader to avoid software surveillance and remote kill switches in proprietary ereaders. Also be sure to get your ebooks and literature not only without DRM, but also in a free format, preferably EPUB. While PDF is also free, it is less ideal for ebook viewing, reflowing, and editing. The sites listed provide files unencumbered, but it's important to be mindful that both of these can still contain DRM elsewhere.

See also: Calibre DRM-free ebook directory contains thousands of ebooks organized into genres.
