Internet Archive's open book catalogue: read, borrow and discover more than 3 million books free.
Why I recommend it: Free account needed to borrow; popular titles can have a waitlist.
Free reading app from OverDrive that borrows ebooks, audiobooks and magazines from your local public library with a library card. Works in a browser or on iOS, Android, Kobo and Kindle (US libraries only), with offline downloads, CarPlay and Android Auto support, holds, and tagged reading lists.
Why I recommend it: This is how you read the paid books on this site without buying them — most business, career and technology titles are in public library collections. What you need is a library card, which is free where you live. The catch is availability, not price: your library chooses what it licenses and popular titles come with waiting lists, so place holds early rather than expecting a book on the day you want it.
MIT Press's open-access programme: hundreds of scholarly books and journal articles you can read and download in full for free, legally, including work on computing, AI, economics and design.
Why I recommend it: Before you buy an academic book or hit a paywalled paper, check here and on the author's own page. Not the whole catalog is open, only the titles funded for it, so search the specific book rather than assuming.
