So,e-books it is then

[V8covin]

Just got myself a 7" tablet and am looking to download a few titles for an upcoming holiday.
I'm not a big book reader but I do like the odd autobiography and such like....not interested in fiction at all.

What do I need and where do I start looking? I have the google books app installed.
Is there much in the way of free stuff out there ?
Cheers

If it's available on your tablet get the Kobo app. You can borrow books from the library in ePub format. That's what I do with my Kobo eReader.

Project Gutenberg is a good source of free eBooks in a number of formats.

I like http://uk.ereaderiq.com/.
You can setup a subscription for various genres of free books and get daily emails.
Found some good ones on there.

One thing that's confusing me.
Can I use one e-reader app to read everything I download no matter where I get it from ?

Probably yes, but the Kindle uses its own format which can be converted. ePub is the most used format by other readers.

I have a number of e-reader apps installed,but for example books downloaded from Kobo don't show up in the libraries of the other apps and vice versa.
Is it possible to get all the downloads in the same folder ?

Not always some of the publishers like to 'innovate' and make like some of the STM publishers who use Adobe Digital Editions, or an in-house produced 3rd party app/reader software.
