What Is InfoBooks and What Can You Find on the Site?

Updated

InfoBooks is a website that offers thousands of free PDF books across categories like self-help, philosophy, fiction, and classic literature. According to the site, no registration or payment is required — you click and read. The books are described as public domain, Creative Commons, or shared by the author, and the site states every book is legal.

What InfoBooks Offers

The site organizes its library around a few main structures:

  • Free PDF books by category — themes range from psychology and philosophy to business, fiction, and more.
  • Books by classic authors — figures such as Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Austen.
  • The Project Aldus Editions — a collection where great classics are re-typeset page by page so they read well as PDFs. These are downloadable free and without sign-up.
  • A blog — reading guides, recommendations, and ideas.

How to Get Books

  1. Browse by category or author — pick a theme that interests you or go directly to a classic author's page.
  2. Download the PDF — the site says books work on all devices; download once and read anywhere.
  3. No account needed — the site states no registration and no fees. It also says new books are added every week.

The Daily Email Option

InfoBooks offers a free email subscription: one fiction and one non-fiction book delivered daily. The site describes it as one email a day, with one-click unsubscribe, no spam, and a stated privacy policy. This is optional — you can use the site without subscribing.

What to Keep in Mind

  • The site describes its books as legal (public domain, Creative Commons, or author-shared), but you should still check individual titles if you plan to redistribute them.
  • The "no registration, no fees" claim comes from the site itself; the available information does not list any pricing or login requirements, so treat the free access as the site's stated model rather than an independently verified fact.
  • Category counts reflect themes, not necessarily the number of individual books.

If you want free PDF reading material without creating an account, InfoBooks is built around exactly that use case. Start with a category that matches your interest, or try a Project Aldus edition if you want a well-typeset classic.
