Literary clothes. Coriolanus released the fistful of cabbage into the pot of boiling water and swore that one day it would never pass his lips again. But this was not that day. He needed to eat a large bowl of the anemic stuff, and drink every drop of broth, to prevent his stomach from growling during the reaping ceremony. That at eighteen, the heir to the once-great house of Snow had nothing to live on but his wits.
His shirt for the reaping was worrying him. He had an acceptable pair of dark dress pants bought on the black market last year, but the shirt was what people looked at. Fortunately, the Academy provided the uniforms it required for daily use. Tigris had said to trust her, and he did. Too damaged to sell in even the worst of times, and this was to be his reaping shirt? This morning he had gone to her room at daybreak, only to find both his cousin and the shirt missing.
Not a good sign. Had Tigris given up on the old thing and braved the black market in some last-ditch effort to find him proper clothing? And what on earth would she possess worth trading for it? Only one thing—herself—and the house of Snow had not yet fallen that far.
Subscriber Account active since. The Kindle Paperwhite is one of the best purchases I've made recently because it makes reading so much more convenient and accessible. I wind down at night with a good book instead of scrolling mindlessly through social media, and I see long commutes as an opportunity rather than an annoyance. If you're an avid reader with an ever-expanding library, these costs can add up quickly.
And if you're like me and hesitate to spend that much on a book that you're not sure you'll enjoy or want to keep forever, then you might also feel stuck. I set out to figure out how to access more books without the financial burden and discovered options that ensure I'll never have to pay full-price for an ebook again. Whether you're looking to cut down on costs or are more of a book borrower than a book owner, these five sites and subscriptions will help you maximize your book consumption for less money and commitment.
How it works: If you have a public library card which you should because it's free and easy to sign up for! Find your local library, sign in with your library card number, then browse all the ebook and audiobooks your library has to offer by subject, language, and keywords. You can also place holds on titles and add books to a wish list. After you click "Borrow," you'll be directed to your Amazon account to download the title to your Kindle device.
Once the loan period expires, the book will automatically be deleted from your account. I was very excited to discover OverDrive because it offers all the options and affordability of a library, without the inconvenience of visiting a physical location. Since it lives on your phone and you don't need to buy another device, Scribd makes consuming books easier than ever. You can also download books for offline reading, so not having service won't be a problem.
How it works: With Kindle Unlimited, you get access to over one million titles, including audiobooks and the latest issues of popular magazines. You can have up to 10 Kindle Unlimited titles in your library at one time, so you can keep a rotating selection of old favorites and new discoveries.
I've used Kindle Unlimited to finally read the books I've been meaning to for years, like "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Interpreter of Maladies," and I've been able to revisit childhood classics like the "Harry Potter" series.
How it works: Amazon's latest perk for Prime members is Prime Reading , which gives free access to more than a thousand of the most popular books and magazines. You can download up to 10 titles at a time to your Kindle, Fire tablet, or Kindle app.
These titles are updated every month. However, iBooks doesn't work with your desktop or laptop. Their selection is on par with most of the services already listed, but they do not have a subscription-based program. Android users, Google Play Books is a great service for where to buy ebooks!
It's owned and operated by Google, but functions similarly to iBooks in that it is app-based and will allow you to access your books across multiple Google and Android devices. But, with over 5 million titles, including access to the free digital Google Library, it boasts one of the largest selections in the world. While Scribd was first recognized mainly as an open publishing platform, it has since morphed into a great subscription-based source for books, audiobooks, magazines, and other documents.
The selection is pretty wide, but not everything is available on this platform--like Netflix, some things may come and go. However, there are also thousands of free, self-published books to download. You also do not get to keep the books you access on Scribd, but you can return to the books you love as long as your subscription remains active.
Like Scribd, Playster is another subscription-based service for ebooks and audiobooks, but they also have access to movies, games, and music. Being a Prime member will open up hundreds of free book options that you can find both online and on your Kindle device. You can browse the Prime Reading section for new books that are added each day. Additionally, sign up for Amazon's First Reads newsletter and you'll receive exclusive access to new Prime titles before they're even published.
Kindle Unlimited, meanwhile, is a separate subscription option which lets you rent up to 10 books, magazines, or audiobooks a month, with no due dates. Whether you use it just for a month or decide to begin paying, you'll immediately gain access to a wide variety of eBooks. A resource outside of Amazon is Project Gutenberg , a collection of public domain books that have been made available in eBook form — including forms compatible with Kindle devices and Kindle apps.
BookBub is an email service that will alert you of free books in its online bookstore catalog. When you sign up for the newsletter, you'll select your favorite genres, so you can stay on top of the latest free versions of your favorite books. In addition to books, Scribd also offers magazines and audiobooks. Not all libraries are equipped with an eBook database, but searching on OverDrive helps you find the ones that are. Enter your city or zipcode in the search bar and the website will provide links to any nearby locations with eBooks available.
Click on the library's link to open its website in a separate tab. Depending on the library, you may have to go through some extra steps in order to obtain a library card, either online or in person. Sharing books is a great way to get titles for free. To do so, you'll have to add family members or friends to your Amazon Household.
