1. Library Maxim Moshkov

The library did not hear about this oldest in RuNet, probably only one who never read e-books. It was she who became the starting point for popular now book resources, such as samizdat, Artofwar, etc.

On the pages of this resource you can find books of any genres, including a huge selection of the classics of world literature. All books are conveniently sorted by thematic sign, which makes it easier to search.

Features This electronic library is a concise design, lack of advertising and the impossibility of downloading books. They will have to read directly on the site, and this is not very convenient, as the font is too small.

You bought a reader for e-books, but it turned out that downloading a book is not so easy?

Each book "worth" from 5 to 50 points - depending on its value. When registering, 100 points are automatically accrued - for the first days enough.

Flibusta

This is a pirate library. If all previous libraries respect the copyright, then Flibust offers free download those books that the authors and publishers would like to sell.

The question arises - download or not download? It all depends on your conscience and budget. Many readers have found such a way out: download the author's book for free, with whose work they want to meet, read and, if the book liked, buy it in a paper version for your home library. And the author is encouraging, and a good book on the shelf of the reader.

Also, this library will suit schoolchildren and students who undergo a course of modern literature. After all, it is impossible to buy all the books that are included in the program. Moreover, for the author, each reading is PR, and many writers are not really against that their books are free to download.

If you did not find the desired book in this library - go in a few days. Often copyright holders demand to remove the book, but after some time it is laid out again.

Salt

Not all books in this library are available for free. But the free section is very large, and books placed there, you can download already in seven different formats. Many readers will be interested in the "News" section on the site - it tells about book news, facts from the life of writers, about what the book world lives.

Russian fiction

The site originated in 1996, when it was difficult to find free modern scientific fiction literature on the Internet. No, she, of course, was, but in meager quantities and, mostly, at fabulous prices. At that time, there was practically no online libraries designed to buy books, but for a one-time reading. Fortunately, the site management gathered on its resource more than 24,000 files associated with a fascinating genre of science fiction.

Aldebaran.

The Aldebaran electronic library offers readers comfortable sections in which you can find books of completely different genres. Aldebaran positions itself as the largest collection of literature on the Internet. Before downloading, readers can familiarize themselves with the excerpts of the book online. The resource offers the opportunity to download literature on iPhones, Aipads and Androids.

In the scientific hall there are many interesting sections: sociology; political economy; philosophy, etc. This resource allows you to easily and quickly download archived files (with text and illustrations from a given book).

Gumer

The library site is a storehouse of humanitarian literature. Here you will find books on pedagogy, cultureologists, political science etc. In the category "Artistic Literature" there is an interesting selection of creativity of domestic and foreign classics. The only drawback of this site is the lack of the "download" function. However, if you do not want to read online, you can simply copy the text manually. Agree, this is a small obstacle when you need to get a rare scientific work.
