Our eBooks are genuinely free. We do not want your money. There are absolutely no fees or charges whatsoever, so you won't find any sneaky upgrade fees for different formats on Obooko. You may download from a wide range of genres to read in PDF, ePub or Kindle versions, without paying a single penny. All titles are hosted on our own servers, which means you may transfer as many as you wish direct to your Android or iPhone, iPad, tablet, desktop or laptop, without having to follow outside links. And, for your peace of mind, every title is legally authorized and licensed by the author for worldwide publication by Obooko, so you can be certain that all files on this website may be downloaded legally.

Why Obooko?

Our objective is to offer everyone access to contemporary storybooks and works of non-fiction online without charge. While most folks have access to a computer or mobile device connected to the Internet, not every person in the world can afford to buy printed or digital books. With this in mind, we developed the Obooko website as a global platform for readers to obtain quality reading material online legally, regardless of means.

There are absolutely no fees or charges for registration or to download ebooks on Obooko. You may transfer ANY available digital format to your device. PDF is the most popular format, but you prefer ePub for your mobile phone, in which case select this option from the dropdown menu on the listing page. If you have a Kindle device you can have your favourite titles made available as a Kindle book file. Our only restriction to making use of the Obooko library is that registered users of the site must be aged 13 and above: this helps to ensure minors do not access writing that is intended for adults. Also, for your peace of mind it is also good to know that Obooko operates 100% legally: in accordance with international Copyright conventions and laws. We secure written permission to publish and host all the novels and textbooks you see in our library. What's more, we continually and actively promote and uphold Copyright law online by writing about the negative effects of digital piracy and plagiarism. What this means is the stories or information publications you select are not only fantastic reads but also safe and legal for you to download and own.  Obtaining digital files from illegal sites could mean you are in possession of pirated works.

Book categories and genres to suit your tastes.

We have a huge range of free e books to choose from, including romance novels and stories written specifically for women. Plus many popular genres like science fiction, fantasy novels, action and adventure, crime thrillers and mysteries ... and of course scary horror stories! What's more, we have a large collection of business titles of interest to readers wishing to start a business or grow one. And travel guides too, for vacation and holiday ideas. Whatever your taste, we have over 2300 e-books free to read online for you! Our library is your guarantee of a good read whatever your tastes. And we don't just loan you these fabulous reads, they are yours to keep!

Reward authors with stars and feedback

Our authors receive no payment whatsoever for allowing you to read their free e books, so please, whether you loved it or loathed it, when you finish reading a title from our collection, return to the author's book-listing page (enter the title in the search box if you can't find the page) and leave a Star Rating from 1 to 5. If the author has a Feedback Link you can use this to let them know how much you like their work, point out any little mistakes or just to say thanks.

While we do not list classics in our collection, we do recommend visiting Project Gutenberg for works that are out of Copyright and in the public domain. Here you will find works from Plato and Shakespeare to Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde. Try and make a small donation if you are able: this is a very worthwhile and commendable enterprise that keeps literature alive … and most importantly read.

Help Obooko grow and reach more readers.

Over the next twelve months we would like to bring you another 2000 books to read by attracting more authors (and more members to read their work too!) With this in mind we would be delighted if you would help us tell as many people as possible about our website.

Do you write a Blog? Perhaps post regularly on a social network account like Facebook or Twitter? Maybe you have your own website? Whichever way you communicate on the Web, you can help us attract more novelists and more members, which will in turn bring you more quality books free online. How? By adding a simple link. Search engines rank sites mainly by the useful information they contain closely followed by popularity: the more links that point to a website, the more it will be favoured in search results. So, if you enjoy using obooko please spread the word by adding a link back to our homepage: simply copy the link in the browser address bar above and paste it into your post along with a few words about our service.

New and established authors from all parts of the world may publish their work on Obooko for distribution to a global audience via our easy-to-use submission process. By removing barriers and making it easy to put your stories and textbooks online, we hope to allay the fears that prevent new writers publishing their work by traditional methods. By offering free books to download via Obooko under Standard Copyright or Creative Commons licences, authors can benefit from valuable feedback from members. This can be used to improve a story before it is listed for sale on retail sites or sent to traditional publishers for consideration. Happily though, most of our wordsmiths write purely to be read and continue to have their PDF, ePub and Kindle books listed online via Obooko for many years. Intellectual property rights remain with the author and we are actively engaged in protecting and upholding Copyright.

So, if there is a story or work of non-fiction you have always wished to write, there is no need to leave your ideas in your head or languishing in a drawer. Perhaps you have already written one that's hidden away on an obscure website? Now is your chance to Start publishing your work on Obooko! There is no charge for registration, so join us and publish your free books for the benefit of our members and enjoy knowing your work is being appreciated.

Contrary to what you may imagine, self-publishing and giving away a copy of your work on the Web is a sound strategy that will not only ensure it will be read, but will also help promote your writing and your name. In turn, this increases the amount of people who are likely to be interested in your future printed and digital books. And by giving people, especially those who can't afford to buy regular books, a good, no-cost read, you are doing a great social service too; especially to folks around the world on low incomes.

Tips, suggestions, comments and praise for your work can be picked up via Obooko's unique feedback messaging system. Your address is hidden on the feedback form, but you can reply to messages if you wish. Although you may not agree with everything you read, it can be useful, especially when recurring comments may indicate there is a need to change something. We have a star-rating system for our free ebook download service too, where members may award your work between one and five stars. The votes on your book listing page will show an average star-rating. The more stars and votes your work receives the more popular it will become.
