Download free books in seconds
Weekends and free time are perfect for catching up on reading, especially when we can do it from anywhere. Although many of us also we love reading in these little moments on public transport, at the doctor's office… But where can you get books if you don't want to pay for an author's book at the time?
The National Library offers great classics ready to be downloaded to our iPhone. But it also adds new titles every year. Just open Safari on your iPhone and go to the BNE website. Once there, you will find a very complete catalog: from the classics of Pérez Galdós to the most moving poetry of García Lorca.
The best thing is that you don't need to register or provide any personal information. Simply search for the book you are interested in and Click “Download ePub”. Your iPhone will ask you which app you want to open it with, and here's the best part: Apple's Books app, which comes preinstalled on all iOS devices, is perfect for this.
