Romance, Historical or Otherwise discussion

This question isn't so much e-reader as electronically available BOOKS.

I stumbled across this site and wondered if anyone knows what exactly it is. www.freebillionairebooks.com

It has hundreds of romance book available for free reading via the browser. (No downloads, no reader.) Mostly contemporary; looks more like the more lightweight type (several Harlequins) but it's definitely not a self-publish site. And if you look the titles up on Amazon, these are not free books.

It has pop-up advertisements, plentiful but not terribly distracting. I've been watching my system and the site doesn't seem to carry any malware. (Note, I'm not an expert - everyone should take precautions when visiting unfamiliar sites!)

There's no information about the site itself.

On the one-hand, it seems to be a great source of free reading. But I'm leery of anything that seems to good to be true. If it's not legit, I don't want to use it.

I went into the sight. When you click on the book you want it takes you to the start. At the bottom of the page you hit the next page. Its all there. No downlands. It's right there to read in your browser. Thanks for the sight. It has Beautiful Player one of the Beautiful Bastard series I haven't read yet. Many books must be hundreds!!!!

Thank you, Joy. I am so happy you found us a free book site. It's greatly appreciated :)

In my excitement I forgot to say thank you !!!!!! :)

I've been reading books on it this week and had no problems. It's a pretty basic site but there's no ownership information at all. I'd guess the purpose is advertising. There are lots of ads, but they mostly frame the the page text and I have no problem ignoring them while I'm reading.

The SEARCH field doesn't work on my Android tablet, but it does on my Windows PC - so i can search for key word in book title. Not much else. Otherwise, it's just picking a book and clicking NEXT PAGE to move forward through it.

There are occasional pop-up ads but not enough to be really annoying and they go away instantly if you click the X to exit.

I have Adblock Plus on my computer and never get advertisements. It's free in Google apps. Wonderful tool. Since putting it on I get little to no malware when I get my computer checks. A lot of things come in tthrough ads besides that. Spyware for example. If you don't like it it's easy to uninstall. No advertisements is great !!!!!
