No matter how advanced the technologies, the paper book maintains its luster that never fades, and many people only like to read in a paper book.
When I was in university, I used to deduct from my budget to buy books, but in the year I graduated from college, and I had not yet worked, which made me feel that I did not have the ability to buy books, and I could not refrain from reading, so what is the solution, and because I am the best thing I can do best. Search, I searched for sites from which I could download free books in a legitimate manner, or even books that fall under the heading of creative commons and public benefit, and I found many methods that I did not include, but rather a variety of audio and electronic books, as well as ways for paper books for those who do not They prefer e-book or audiobooks, so if you are someone who cannot afford to budget for books, this topic is for you.
The paper book
Regardless of the development of technologies, the paper book remains its luster that never fades, and many do not like reading except through a paper book. A fan of paper books like me, you have two options:
Shared libraries
That is the idea of my friend, which she told me with great enthusiasm, “We buy books together, in all the galleries we go there, we choose close options, but our tastes may seem one, we divide the price of the books among us, and then when we read them we re-distribute them to us, each of us chooses The book is closest to his heart, because we do not like all books to the same extent, but rather we have set up a club to borrow books among us, lending to those who cannot afford to buy, a small borrowing club in the neighborhood and university, an idea with a low cost especially for those who like to keep books not read and return them, you can Do it with family or friends, or you can even make a library for the neighborhood.
Borrowing from public libraries
I owe the school library which used to open the doors of its library every summer vacation, which made me read, read without stopping, read a lot of books and sail in them, before 2011 AD, there was a cultural event called the Reading for All Festival, and I spent eight years of Reading is in the space of that library, and it has not ended yet, and until now there are many libraries, for example in Egypt (Egyptian Public Libraries - Libraries of Culture Palaces) that provide many wonderful, awesome publications that you can never expect, from heritage books to novels Relatively recent release, this is done with a very simple subscription, and I know that public libraries are spread in all countries because of the support the state provides for the culture of its citizens, so if you do not have the money to buy what you need from books I search for it in the public libraries, which will provide you with everything you dream Doing, from them.
E-Book
"O paper book, give way, leave your papers aside, put your love and your scent, I have come to take your place, because that is a modern age" my writing. Because it is the easiest to carry, which does not occupy much space in the house or travel bags, the e-book has come to the fore, and here are the most important sites that allow you to read and download open source books.

Audio book
An audiobook is another way to read, but reading by ear I see it as a clear manifestation of the requirements of the modern era, which does not expand for a person to browse a book in a pleasant mood, but rather we are doing more than one task at one time, and as in the two examples of the paper and electronic book, the audio books It can also be obtained completely free of charge.
