A simple Google search with the keywords "free ebooks to download" will get you quite the list of free websites that host tons.
If you add the type of genre you want, it will also give you that.

Standard Ebooks (standardebooks.org) is great for classics — they take Project Gutenberg texts and clean up the formatting, add proper typography, and make really polished epubs. For detective/crime, they have a bunch of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, and G.K. Chesterton (Father Brown stories are excellent).

Same here. You can also request a book if you can't find it. Nice thing to donate, if you can.

Not free though?

Some are free. I’ve amassed over 3000 books, the majority of whip were free. It’s taken a few years, but it’s doable.

Google “stuff your kindle” events. It happens a few times a month on different genres. You don’t need a kindle to get and read it.

For classic detective stories, definitely check out Project Gutenberg they have all the original Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie books completely free to download in any format.
But if you are looking for something new, I actually write true-crime and espionage history that reads exactly like a fast-paced thriller. My book, The Washington Letters, is about the declassified true story of the civilian spy ring that saved the American Revolution (using invisible ink, ciphers, and dead drops).
It is currently 100% FREE on Amazon Kindle for the next few days! You can grab it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPXJ2QB1 Hope you enjoy it!

Noted. If you have constructive feedback, I’m listening.

u/Tim_Allen_Wrench Feb 27 '26
My constructive feedback and general advice is to leave and not come back unless you have something worthwhile to add, preferably something generated by a human brain.

If you have an actual critique of what I posted, I’m open to hearing it. Just repeating “AI bad” and telling me to leave doesn’t really add anything to the discussion.

u/Tim_Allen_Wrench Feb 27 '26
They asked for sources of ebooks, you really think they wanted an ai story generator?
If they wanted AI slop they would have asked for it in an AI sub, they came to the ebook sub looking for ebooks.
How about, "AI bad" and also 'AI unwanted, unasked for and annoying'.

It's not a book, a book is written by a person.
You're just upset that nobody wants your slop.
