So disappointing. It lags
September 3, 2020

I used it for a year and then it fell apart. The lagging editor was my biggest complaint. I switched to the Classic Editor and all problems were over. I then read more reviews and found there is so much dissatisfaction with Gutenberg editor

I'm sure that most ebook reader owners already know about this site - thousands and thousands of free ebooks that can be downloaded in Epub, Kindle, HTML and text formats for pretty much any ebook reader.

The site could be prettier, but hey, these guys work off of volunteers' sweat and a love of $#*!ens and Twain. We can trade aesthetics for scholar.

If it is out of copyright, you can probably find it here. In 2019 a twenty-year extension to copyrights ends, which means that those books will become a huge addition to this already massive collection of FREE TO DOWNLOAD BOOKS in text, epub, mobi, PDF, and other forms, as well as AUDIO versions, through LIBRIVOX. This is not a library. You download it, you own it. I have downloaded books and short stories from Gutenberg.org for many years now.
Gutenberg appreciates donations, but they are not in the least bit pushy about it, which makes me want to donate.

Great

Nothing bad about free books.

Yes, they are old, but they are classics, so you can do a lot worse than spending an afternoon with any of the books they have available.

An exquisite database of books from all around the world. And all that treasure goes for free! Just superb!
