Free Reads Online, and the Copyright Morsel

I was browsing Pinterest and came across a fantastic, free website for educators that has many fiction and non-fiction e-books.  Check out Epic!  The website displays books in a reader-friendly format so that they can easily be displayed on your Smartboard for classroom use, or students can read books on a tablet.  Create your free educator account, and start reading now!

Another great site for free and/or reduced price books is Bookbub.  Set up your account and preferences to access books on your favorite e-reader.  You can also subscribe to Smashwords to read e-books online without a reader, and even publish your own books at this website.
