There are all kinds of webshops where you can find countless nice e-books.
Shop for eBooks
First of all, you can buy books via the website of well-known booksellers. Such as www.bol.com, www.ako.nl and www.bruna.nl. In such a webshop you will always find a department that is completely filled with e-books. There are also all kinds of large and small websites that specialize in e-books, such as www.ebook.nl.
Take your time to look around in such a webshop, place the desired digital books in the shopping cart and pay. Depending on the store, you will receive an email with a download link or you can download the books directly from the website. At Bol.com, for example, as long as you are logged in to the website with your account at the top, you can click My account / My ebooks click. There you will not only see the books you have just purchased, but also all previously purchased e-books. They are easy to download at the click of a mouse.
Via your Bol account you can download e-books immediately after purchase and also later.
Free eBooks
Not all e-books require payment. There are several websites where you can download books for free. Sometimes these are older works for which the copyright has expired, but there are also brand new books that are (temporarily or not) offered for promotion.
Furthermore, our country has numerous writers who are happy to make their stories and informative books available for free. You can take advantage of that. Examples of these types of websites are www.gratisepub.nl, www.gratispdf.nl and www.ebook.gratis-downloaden.nu. Project Gutenberg is an almost inexhaustible source of mainly English-language books. Here you will find textbooks. You can borrow e-books from your own library or via the national library offer at www.bibliotheek.nl. A number of books are also available without a membership.
Do not forget to look at your own library (physical or website) and the national offer.
You don't always have to pay for books.
