Ebooks and digital libraries gather places to read, borrow, and organise electronic books. Entries include public archives, library lending services, reader apps, and tools that convert or repair ebook files. Availability is the first thing to check, since lending depends on where you live and on the rules of each service, and a title that is free in one country may be locked in another. Compare the formats each one supports, how you sync across devices, and whether the catalogue is complete or partial. Some listings point to third-party collections, so check the source and its terms before you download.
