Haha, just an internet term to add a comment for additional traffic and at the same time see what others say because I’m also interested on the recommended sites…

These are all the legal ways I know.
Bookpub and freebooksy send you emails daily with free books or super cheap $.99-$1.99 for ebooks. The fussy librarian and robin reads, does this as well.
Amazon, kindle, nook, iBooks, androids have google play that have ton of free ebooks.
Libraries have Overdrive and hoopla and other platforms for free ebooks.
There is a web page called http://openlibrary.org/, that you can download books.
Half Price Books. Library and Library Book Sales.
5 mile, Craigslist, offer up, let go, and Facebook market place, you can get free or cheap books.
Half price books you can get books for under $3.
Freecycle is sort of like Craigslist but everything is free.
Libraries sale books for $.25-$2
Garage sales and thrift shops have books as well.
Some schools and colleges have free books in their hallways or buildings, it’s a take one free give one free type of deal.
Dollar stores and general stores have cheap books.
Walmart and Costco and sams have great deals on books but do cost about $5-$8 but for new releases that’s good prices.
Join swap, buy, sell pages here on Facebook and swap/sell your books for other books.

Sign up to review books. Heard about this never did this.
Book outlet and thrift book are good web pages to order books, and have them sent to you for super cheap.

Youtube audiobooks
Really? I’ve not heard of this. Is there a specific place to go to?
Library, thrift shops, garage sales
Thrift books about $3.79 for most books on the site
Youtube
I use http://alibris.co.uk/ I found a lot of book for my studies!
Bookbub and Bookgorilla are my two favorites.
Library. I’ve recently discovered Overdrive and have simply gorged on the array of audiobooks!
I haven’t figured out Overdrive’s Audiobooks, yet. I do get Kindle boos through Overdrive through my library system.
I don’t think that Overdrive is immediately user friendly, I’m sure that it could be far more straightforward in its layout and manageability, but I simply put in ‘audio books’ in the search bar and it throws up all the audio books that they own in their library. I’ve listened to 15 books since I joined via the App, which I would have paid dearly for via Audible.
I also have a subscription with Kindle Unlimited, where I can also obtain ‘free’ audiobooks – also not easy to access, harder than Overdrive – but free audiobooks are part of my mission in life! ?
The library, thrift stores & swaps with friends!
Library
I like Amazon for free shipping, but order a lot from HPB Marketplace.
Ebook.bike
Got my hp series
Mortal instruments series
And percy jackson series all for free here.
At no cost.
If you download the app OverDrive, you can set up an account through your public library. You just need to provide your library card number and password (for an account) and then everything is fair game and free! They have audio books as well as books to read online at no charge – only downfall is the amount of time they’re rented out to you, but hopefully you can find use from it or renew them!
used to be http://half.com/ but it is gone now.

My Library or download the Overdrive app to your phone and download audio or digital books.
I get lots of free Kindle books from Amazon. Often the first book in a series is promoted to attract new readers, or a book is promoted for a limited time. Some are great, some less so but it means I never run out of books because I always have a few spare freebies 🙂
I do this too, I get daily emails of book specials from them and a couple; of others EarlyBird Books and Goodreads deals and Thriftbooks
The library.
