But did you know that there is a good chance that you might find the same book on a different website entirely for free?

但你知道嗎，你很有可能在另一個網站上找到完全免費的同一本書？

That's right, the exact same book that you might pay $10 or $15 for at Amazon, you might be able to get completely for free on a different website.

沒錯，在亞馬遜上花 10 或 15 美元買的一模一樣的書，在其他網站上可能完全免費。

And all of that is entirely legal.

而這一切都是完全合法的。

The only reason why not more people are doing it is that they simply don't know about it.

之所以沒有更多的人這樣做，唯一的原因是他們根本不瞭解它。

Well, that's exactly what I'm trying to change with this video.

這正是我想通過這段視頻來改變的。

I'm gonna share with you the 5 best websites where you can download books entirely for free.

我將與你分享可以完全免費下載書籍的 5 個最佳網站。

And the very first website we're gonna talk about is called manybooks.net.

我們要談的第一個網站叫 manybooks.net。

Manybooks.net really is a must-know for any book lover out there.

Manybooks.net確實是所有圖書愛好者必知的網站。

As you browse the website, you can see that the books are sorted into different categories such as editor's choice, free e-books and deals, as well as trending books.

在瀏覽網站時，你可以看到書籍被分為不同的類別，如編輯精選、免費電子書和優惠，以及流行書籍。

If we then go and click on one of those categories, let's say classics, you can see that there's different ways of sorting the results.

如果我們點擊其中一個類別，比方說經典作品，你可以看到有不同的排序方式。

On the left hand side you have all the different genres of the books and you can pick and choose depending on what you're after.

左手邊有所有不同類型的書籍，你可以根據自己的需求進行選擇。

But then, secondly, I would also recommend you to sort after popularity just to make sure that you get the most popular books which most likely are also the most interesting ones at the very top.

其次，我還建議您按照受歡迎程度進行排序，以確保您能獲得最受歡迎的圖書，而這些圖書很可能也是排在最前面的最有趣的圖書。

Once you have decided which book you want to read next, all you have to do is click on that book, then click on that big free download button and as soon as you press that one, the book will start downloading right away.

一旦決定了要閱讀的下一本書，您只需點擊該書，然後點擊那個大大的免費下載按鈕，按下按鈕後，該書就會立即開始下載。

Now, as you can see, in this case the book was downloaded in an e-reader format but this is something that is entirely up to your decision.

現在，正如你所看到的，在這種情況下，書是以電子閱讀器格式下載的，但這完全取決於你的決定。

You can choose to download it as a PDF instead as well as several other options.

您可以選擇下載 PDF 文件，也可以選擇其他幾種方式。

Overall, manybooks.net has one of the largest assortments of books as well as probably the best website design so I highly recommend you to check it out for yourself.

總之，manybooks.net 是書籍種類最多的網站之一，也可能是網站設計最好的網站，是以我強烈建議您親自去看看。

The second website where you can download books entirely for free is Google Books.

第二個可以完全免費下載書籍的網站是 Google Books。

Now, many people are not even aware that you can get books on the Google Play Store much less that many of them are available for free.

現在，許多人甚至不知道可以在 Google Play Store 上獲取圖書，更不知道其中許多圖書是免費提供的。

The thing is, Google is a little bit sneaky about hiding the e-books that they do offer for free so you have to know how to search for them.

問題是，谷歌在隱藏其免費提供的電子書方面有點鬼鬼祟祟，所以你必須知道如何搜索它們。

So let me show you how it's done.

讓我來教你怎麼做。

And there are different ways to go about it but this is the method that works best for me personally.

有不同的方法，但這是最適合我個人的方法。

Step one is I go to the Google Play Store.

第一步是進入 Google Play 商店。

Step two, I type in the name of the book or the author that I'm looking after so for example, Jane Austen.

第二步，我輸入我要找的書或作者的名字，例如簡-奧斯汀。

And then step three, you get a little drop-down menu where you can set the price and in my case, I will set the price to zero.

第三步，你會看到一個小的下拉菜單，你可以在這裡設置價格。

And voila, that gives me all Jane Austen books here on the Google Play Store that are available for free.

然後，我就能在 Google Play Store 上找到所有免費的簡-奧斯汀書籍。

I do have to admit the navigation until you actually find those free books is maybe not the easiest but I think it is worth your time because Google Play offers so many books and so much variety that I'm pretty sure you will also find something that is interesting to you.

我不得不承認，在真正找到這些免費書籍之前，導航也許不是最簡單的，但我認為這值得你花時間去做，因為 Google Play 提供瞭如此多的書籍和如此豐富的種類，我敢肯定你也會找到你感興趣的東西。

But maybe now you're thinking, hmm, I don't always know which author or book I'm even looking after.

但也許你現在會想，我並不總是知道自己在關注哪位作家或哪本書。

Maybe I just want to browse through all the free books available and then choose out of that list.

也許我只是想瀏覽一下所有可用的免費書籍，然後從列表中進行選擇。

Well, don't you worry.

別擔心

This is possible too.

這也是可能的。

And it is as simple as typing in free books into the search functionality on Google Play.

只需在 Google Play 的搜索功能中輸入免費書籍即可。

This will give you a list of all the free books available and then you can choose for yourself which one you want to download.

這將為您提供所有可用免費書籍的列表，然後您可以自行選擇要下載的書籍。

And by the way, if you enjoy this video so far, then consider subscribing to my channel.

順便說一句，如果你喜歡這個視頻，請考慮訂閱我的頻道。

This way you will always get an update as soon as I post a new video.

這樣，只要我發佈新視頻，您就能隨時獲得更新。

We are moving on to website number three on our list of websites that allow you to download free ebooks.

接下來，我們將介紹允許您下載免費電子書的網站列表中的第三個網站。

This one is called gutenberg.org.

這個網站叫做 gutenberg.org。

It is honestly one of my favorite websites on the internet because it is so simple to use and it gets you exactly what you're looking for if you're after free ebooks.

老實說，這是我在互聯網上最喜歡的網站之一，因為它使用起來非常簡單，而且如果你需要免費電子書，它能準確地為你提供所需的內容。

There's nothing fancy about the website.

網站沒有任何花哨之處。

They don't put a lot of effort and time into the user interface but instead they focus on what is most important which is providing high quality books for you to download for free.

他們沒有在用戶界面上投入大量精力和時間，而是專注於最重要的事情，即提供高質量的圖書供你免費下載。

So if you check out the top menu you can click on search and browse and there you click on book search.

是以，如果你查看頂部菜單，可以點擊搜索和瀏覽，然後點擊圖書搜索。

That will take you to this website where you then can click on our most popular books.

這將帶您進入本網站，然後您可以點擊我們最受歡迎的書籍。

This way you immediately find a list of some of the greatest books ever written all available for you to download entirely for free.

通過這種方式，您可以立即找到有史以來最偉大的書籍清單，供您完全免費下載。

Let's say for example we want to download one of the arguably best books of all times Moby Dick.

比方說，我們想下載一本堪稱史上最佳的書籍《白鯨記》。

We click on it, then we get an overview of the different formats in which the book is available and once we have made our choice the book will immediately start downloading.

我們點擊它，就會看到該書的不同格式概覽，一旦我們做出選擇，該書就會立即開始下載。

It really is that simple.

真的就是這麼簡單。

And if you compare that to how much you would pay for the same book at a website like Amazon you have just saved yourself about 15 bucks.

如果您將這一價格與在亞馬遜等網站上購買同一本書的價格相比，您就為自己節省了大約 15 美元。

On Project Gutenberg they focus on public domain books so most of the books are classics.

古騰堡計劃側重於公共領域的書籍，是以大部分書籍都是經典之作。

If that is something that you're into then I'm sure you will love that website.

如果你對此感興趣，我相信你一定會喜歡這個網站。

But even if you don't have a lot of experience reading classics then I believe Project Gutenberg could be a catalyst for you to develop a love for those all time favorite books.

但即使你沒有很多閱讀經典的經驗，我相信古騰堡計劃也能成為你的催化劑，讓你愛上那些一直以來最喜歡的書籍。

Website number 4 that I want to share here with you today is called pdfbooksworld.com Okay, first things first and that might not come as a surprise if you look at the URL of that website but this website only offers books in PDF format.

我今天要與大家分享的第 4 個網站叫做 pdfbooksworld.com 好吧，先說第一件事，如果你看了這個網站的網址，可能不會感到驚訝，但這個網站只提供 PDF 格式的書籍。

For me personally that's not really an issue that's the format that I like to download my ebooks in anyway but someone else out there might be looking for a specific kind of format so if that's you then maybe this website is not the right place to start looking for you.

對我個人來說，這並不是一個真正的問題，反正我喜歡用這種格式下載電子書，但其他人可能在尋找一種特定的格式，所以如果你是這樣的人，也許這個網站並不適合你。

But for everyone else I highly recommend checking out the website and finding a few gems and where I would normally get started is with the popular button here at the top of the website.

不過，對於其他人，我強烈建議大家查看一下網站，尋找一些精品，我通常會從網站頂部的 "受歡迎 "按鈕開始。

This automatically takes you to an overview of the most popular PDF books.

它會自動帶你瀏覽最受歡迎的 PDF 圖書。

And as you can see there's a bunch of classics from Oliver Twist to The Great Gatsby all the way to Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

正如你所看到的，從《奧利弗-忒斯特》到《了不起的蓋茨比》，再到拿破崙-希爾的《思考與致富》，有很多經典作品。

Now one thing that is a little bit irritating about this website is that you initially need to create an account in order to be able to download any of those ebooks.

這個網站有一點讓人不爽的是，你需要先創建一個賬戶才能下載這些電子書。

But that being said the account is for free it's fairly easy to set up and as you can see here from that point on forward it is absolutely no problem at all to download any PDF you choose.

但儘管如此，該賬戶是免費的，而且設置起來相當簡單，正如你在這裡所看到的，從這一點出發，下載你選擇的任何 PDF 絕對沒有任何問題。

And with that we have already arrived at website number 5 that allows you to get ebooks entirely for free.

是以，我們已經來到了可以完全免費獲取電子書的第 5 個網站。

And this one is the Apple iReader.

這個就是蘋果 iReader。

And yes of course I do realize that this is not exactly a website but it is something that billions and billions of people around the world who have an Apple device do have access to and they all underutilize it.

當然，我也意識到這並不完全是一個網站，但全世界數十億擁有蘋果設備的人都可以使用它，而且他們都沒有充分利用它。

So I do feel like it is almost my obligation to bring it up on this list here.

是以，我覺得我幾乎有義務把它列在這個名單上。

As you can immediately tell the Apple iReader has a slick design just like anything that is made by Apple and I think that is one of the main benefits right away.

正如你一眼就能看出的那樣，蘋果 iReader 的設計就像蘋果公司生產的任何產品一樣光滑，我認為這也是它的主要優點之一。

So really all that you have to do initially is choose one of the many interesting categories that are being offered here and then go choose one of the many books within those categories.

是以，您最初要做的就是從這裡提供的眾多有趣類別中選擇一個，然後從這些類別中選擇一本。

Once you have made your choice all you do is click get and after a few seconds the book is downloaded onto your device and you are able to start reading right away.

做出選擇後，您只需點擊 "獲取"，幾秒鐘後書就會下載到您的設備上，您可以立即開始閱讀。

With the Apple iReader you literally have thousands and thousands of books in the palm of your hand all of it entirely for free.

有了蘋果 iReader，成千上萬的書籍就在你的掌中，而且完全免費。

I think it really doesn't get much better than that and even though I use all of the websites that I listed here in this video in the end often times I do default to the Apple iReader simply because it's so convenient it's always accessible and they have such a huge amount of books to choose from.

我認為沒有比這更好的了，儘管我使用了我在視頻中列出的所有網站，但最後很多時候我還是會默認使用蘋果 iReader，原因很簡單，它太方便了，可以隨時訪問，而且有大量的書籍可供選擇。

But I do hope that you check out all 5 websites that I listed out here I do hope that you find one that is suitable for you and I do hope that it keeps you reading and keeps you growing.

但我希望你能查看我在這裡列出的所有 5 個網站，我希望你能找到一個適合你的網站，我希望它能讓你不斷閱讀，不斷成長。

For now though, thank you so much for watching and I'll be seeing you in the next video.

現在，非常感謝您的收看，我們下期視頻再見。
