Free books online

On Facebook, I saw a list of where you can download free ebooks. I use the library to get my books and I read about 10 to 14 books every two weeks. I know when one is retired one has time to spare. I know that many seniors love to read, but there were no links to the sites listed on FaceBook, so I added the links and ten more sites. So, here's a list of 30 websites where you can download free ebooks across genres. This includes classics, academic texts, technical guides, and a variety of public-domain resources:
