There are a lot of posts for the odd free book and thought I'd share the list of sites I have bookmarked on my browser that I use when looking for free books. I have also included links that I use for software, films and music.
Hope you find them useful ....
Free Books
Project Gutenberg - Began in 1971 by Michael Hart as a community project to make plain text versions of books available freely to all. All Classic ebooks. gutenberg.org/
Freebook Sifter - Choose a site e.g Amazon and a list of free books by category can be viewed freebooksifter.com/

forgot to add, on github, search for the word "awesome" - quite a few people collate lists on there of various subjects, mostly tech related.
