There are quite a few places to get digital books for free:
-BookBub
You sign up with your email address and every day you'll receive a list of books that are either free or discounted. The email includes descriptions of each title so you can get an idea of what each one is about. The books are compatible with Kobo, Nook, Amazon Kindle, Android, and iBooks.
This service is very similar to BookBub, and they often have the same titles featured, primarily for Amazon Kindle.
If audiobooks are more appealing to you, then audible is a great source for quality audiobooks. It's a subscription service ($14.95 per month), but you do get a free 30-day trial to see if you like it. If you often purchase audiobooks, you are probably familiar with the hefty price tags. The nice thing about Audible is that the books you choose each month are yours to keep, even after canceling your subscription.
**Right now, Swagbucks is doing a special offer on Audible!**
Audiobooks can be very pricey. However, LibriVox is a great source for free audiobooks from the public domain. They are often older books, but who doesn't enjoy the classics? (One of my personal favorite things to listen to on LibriVox are the old radio shows!)
-Overdrive
If you have a library card to your local public library you probably have access to Overdrive. There are both Andriod and iOS apps available which you can sign into with your library card number and pin (usually you can set these up at the library). Once you are logged in you have free access to both digital books and audiobooks. You can check out different titles which are auto-returned after your checkout period (no fines!). The titles you checked out can be read or listened to using wifi or downloaded to your device.
