1. Covering every genre of literature, GuteBooks offers free works of literature, science, drama, and history entirely free.
2. Gutebooks allows you to view eBooks in two ways - by viewing the original pages of the scanned books, or by viewing resizable text scaled for your screen.
3. GuteBooks offers over 700,000 free classic e-books from authors ranging from Charles Dickens to H. G. Wells.
4. GuteBooks includes books from various sources, including Project Gutenberg, Google, and OpenLibrary. org.
5. Indeed, while many of the titles are the same ones you would find on a Kindle or a Nook, they are not just cheap, but entirely free.
6. That means that you won't find this year's new releases, but you will find the best literature of past years.
7. These works are in the public domain, and are totally free.
8. Choose whichever method is best for you from the options menu.
1. Love it except for one thing.......I too use Librivox before bed and often, try to get the ebook copy, as a lot of what I listen to is historical/educational and often includes diagrams, art prints, etc...My only complaint is that a lot of the time, in my experience (perhaps it has to do with the type of books I'm seeking) Gutebooks wont have a text copy of it.
2. I will keep librivox but this will in the e-trash.I am very grateful for the time devoted to scanning old books for viewing by us all, however it seems that many books (ironically, all the ones I seek) are mismatched: e.g. title of file does not match the scanned work.
3. Kind of seems purposely exclusive.I listen to librivox often (and many thanks to all the volunteers on their great work) and it's great to have the works to follow along with.
4. Only downloaded it because of Librivox, but overall an enormous disappointment.Strange that this app used to be a lot easier to use and you could download these books freely in ebook format.
5. I used this a bit a year ago but now it seems to be not worth the trouble.Horrible. The app needs some serious optimisation, it is incredibly difficult and user-unfriendly, to the point where the buttons don't work and the pages take quite a while to load.
6. First, the short number of reading line selected by the Text to Speech results in a "jerky" listening exoerience which serious affects my concentration.
7. The text mode is useless, doesn't scroll fluidly but sticks horribly almost 1 minute to move 4 pages.
8. If it manages to be able to synchronize progress between ebooks and audiobooks with librivox it will be an absolute game changerCant set preferences.
9. This title is attached to, "M TULLII CICERO: Cato Major Sive De Senectute" App needs a way to report such files so that the titles may be corrected.
10. The app seems too buggy to use.Great start, but desperately needs an ad free version.
11. Can't download graphic mode and that is not a winner either, it jumps to the next page instead of scrolling to the bottom.
