Can I read books for free?

Yes. The Explore Books page has 2 kinds of books you can read for free:

  • Free complete books. Finished books written by TailoredRead, free to read cover to cover, with every chapter, illustration, and table. They're at the top of the page.
  • Samples. Thousands of books other readers created. Each one shows the book's description, Table of Contents, and Introduction chapter.

You can also browse both kinds by topic on the Categories page.

Reading and downloading

Open any book to read it right on its page. To read it in the online reader instead, select Open in Web Reader. It uses the same fonts and layout you'd get for a book of your own.

To keep a copy, select EPUB or PDF under the book's buttons. A free complete book downloads in full, and a sample downloads as a sample. You don't need an account to read or download.

Getting your own book

Samples and free books show you the writing quality and reading experience. To get a book written for your own goals and background, select Personalize & Buy on any book. Your book also gets its own cover, which you see after purchase.

Sharing a free complete book

You can link to a free complete book, quote up to 500 words with credit and a link back, and share the unchanged EPUB or PDF for free, including with a class or a library. You can't post its text on another website, sell it, or change it. The terms of service have the full rules.

Free complete books are written with AI by TailoredRead and checked by AI reviewers. They may contain errors and are not professional advice.
