# 4 legit sources that keep my e-reader full of free books

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A curated list of four legal, free sources for loading e-readers with books: Standard eBooks (well-formatted public domain titles), Baen Free Library (DRM-free modern sci-fi and fantasy from a publisher), Open Library (borrow in-copyright books for 14 days via Internet Archive), and Smashwords (indie fiction with a free price filter). None require subscriptions or credit cards, and all work indefinitely.
