Hello there! I want to tell you all about free books plus.
Now the reason why I started free books plus is because I love books. And of course, I love free books.
This isn’t just because they’re free but because they help me to do things with books that I normally couldn’t do at all.
Let me give you some examples:
Many years ago I was living in Ibra which is a remote town in Wali Sharqiya in Oman. Now, they simply weren’t any books around, and I was dying for some reading material.
That’s when I connected to the internet and found I was able to download lots of reading matter. In other words, I found lots of free books in a situation where I couldn’t find books any other way.
Here’s another example:
As I said, I love books, and I especially love illustrated books. I have quite a collection of old books, classic novels, fairytales old encyclopaedias and lots of books with pictures by famous illustrators, which are now out of copyright and collectable.
I also love to collect modern books which are beautifully made, or specially illustrated or finely bound.
The problem here is that many of these are too delicate or too precious to read. They look good on the shelf and now and then I take them down and look at the pictures. Sometimes I even copy the pictures and write articles about them, but the idea of reading them frequently makes me quite worried.
And it’s not just me. I have a 10-year-old son. He loves to read. Obviously, I want him to read, I want to encourage him all I can. But when he says to me “Daddy can I read the Red Fairy Book”, which I have in a fine old collectable edition or, Daddy can I read your book by the Brothers Grim”, I have the same problem.
These books are just too precious for my little boy’s hands. Now, there is a solution. The solution is to go onto the Internet and to download the Red Fairy Book or download the stories by the Brothers Grim and print them out.
This is a cheap way of printing the stories, and there are more advantages.
You can choose a font to suit you. You can format the books in a way you like to make sure that they’re easy to read and if you or your children should tear them, spill drinks on them or otherwise destroy them, well it doesn’t cost much and you can print the pieces again.
And this is part of the plus of free books plus.
I’ll provide advice on free software on printers and printing. Or how to use the software you already have so that you can print the books to suit your personal taste.
Now there are other kind of books than classic literature.
I love to get into the wonderful world of E books. E-books, or electronic books cover every subject under the sun, and many of them are free.
You can find books about good health, how to fix your computer how to make money on the internet. How to emigrate to a sunny country, how to buy a house in Bulgaria or Germany or Spain. You can find e-books on every subject.
One problem with e-books is how do you read them?
You can read them on the computer screen.
Some people and companies like Amazon are trying to introduce electronic book readers but quite frankly, I prefer to read my books on paper so once again I can give advice on how to print cheaply and clearly so that you can have the books you want on the page and stored on your computer exactly as you like.
You can see from this approach that you need a computer. You need an Internet connection and you need software
So part of my intention on freebooksplus is to give advice on how to use your computer safely, how to print your books clearly and how to do it as cheaply as possible.
Free has a number of meanings.
It can mean free as is in no cost, it can mean free as in out of prison. It can mean free, as is available to everybody and my idea in freebooksplus is to use the word free in a lot of its meanings at the moment.
So far I’ve emphasised the written word.
Another way I love to have my books is as recordings that I can listen to.
I was surprised when I researched this area to find that there are many free books available. Free books of the highest quality and with a very wide range of contents.
So I plan to tell you how to obtain free audio books, how to listen to them, how to reformat them for convenient listening.
And once again, discussing the free software and resources to do the job.
One last point about free books, is that many commercial companies provide free resources.
Where I find that there are free books, free software, free advice from commercial companies. I shall tell you about this too.
One last point for the moment. As I said, I love books. I love reading books. I love listening to books. I love talking about books. I love books about facts, and I love books about fiction.
So when I give my examples I’ll discuss some of the books that I have found and read and review some of my favourite books and use them as examples of how to enjoy the wonderful world of free books.
I hope you’ll follow my blog, and over the coming weeks and months and years join with me. In searching for discussing and enjoying free books,
