    These ebooks are free in the United States because their copyright has expired. They may not be free of copyright in other countries. Readers outside of the United States must check the copyright laws of their countries before downloading or redistributing Project Gutenburg ebooks.

  • Loan Period

    You may download as many books as you would like to. Then save them and keep them on your computer or other device indefinitely.
  • Books on CDs and DVDs

    For the most part, the original copyright on these Project Gutenburg materials has expired. This means that most of the books on the discs are at least 80+ years old. You may download one of their CDs or DVDs with thousands of books on one disc, or you may create your own with your own choices of books.
