Reading is an essential habit that helps you explore and build a mountain of knowledge, helping you lead at every front. With the advent of technology, digital books are replacing hardcover books. Having free apps to read books has made life much simpler. All you need access to are some great reading apps. Reading apps make it easier to access books without occupying physical space or lifting a heavy bag. You only need to open your smartphone or tablet, choose your reading for the day, and enjoy it. Another advantage is that you will have several free books available on those apps that are copyright-free.

Here are a few apps that provide free books:
