Hi! Here are some links to websites in which you can download books for free. Some of them are copyrighted so use them with caution.
http://www.gutenberg.org/

The following ones are two websites where you can find information about authors and book reviews.
In English: http://www.bookreview.com/$spindb.query.bottom.booknew
In Spanish:  http://www.lecturalia.com/portada/libros

And please, be careful when buying an ebook. I bought one and after paying for it I couldn't read it in my ereader and, as I have seen so far, there are a lot of readers like me.


Hope you find them useful.

Have a look at this video and you will see the huge possibilites Moodle can offer us when teaching and learning.
