If you want to read a book, you probably visit a website like Amazon to buy it. But did you know that the same book might be available for free on another website? Yes, the exact book that costs ₹800–₹1200 on Amazon could be downloaded legally for free elsewhere. The reason most people don’t know this is simply a lack of awareness. That’s why I’ve made this video — to help you discover these amazing websites.
Key Points:
- Many paid books are legally available for free online.
- Lack of awareness keeps people from saving money.
- This video introduces the 5 best free book websites.

You can also just type “Free Books” to browse all available titles.
