Brady,I am getting an iPad for Christmas and I was wondering if you guys knew any links that have free Christian kindle books. I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you all in advance as I am not going to have my computer for the next 3 days starting tomorrow.
I can't stand 'poorly formatted e-books with typos.' If I download one and find it so I delete it immediately. Brother Logan has published a beautiful digital edition of Holiness by J.C. Ryle that is flawless and at $0.99 cents it won't break the bank. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O29F0JQ/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o08_?ie=UTF8&psc=1Free is good, I like free, but I'd caution against getting into the mindset that everything "should" be free (it's easy to slip into, I've done it often myself).
Monergism has done a great service, however, most of their books are quickly done from multiple sources, have horrendous formatting, and in the case of several of their ebooks, have been missing hundreds of pages of content. You get what you pay for.
Maybe not everyone shares this opinion, but I hate reading a poorly formatted book with typos.
And for those who have published ebooks and spent the time to format and proof them, you're basically giving feedback that their work isn't valuable, and there is no reason to continue. OSNOVA produced some fantastic books back in the day, good formatting, linked bible references, excellent navigation, etc. The last time I wrote to the publisher, he sounded very discouraged and as though no one ever really cared. There were free (badly formatted versions) that people grabbed instead of the ones with all the effort put into them. From my own experience as a publisher, over the past five years I've netted around 25 cents an hour for the work I put into them so it's not like we're getting wealthy, but it does make me wonder if my time would be better spent elsewhere
Another thing I've considered is that people seem far less likely to read the free stuff than something they've paid for, no matter how little. Better to buy a few well-done books and intensely study those, than a grab-bag of free ones you'll never read.
