How to use OptRead: find, save, and access books

OptRead is a directory of free and discounted books with direct reader access. Here is the fastest way to make it useful.

Browse or search

Start at the library, filter by free, new, or trending, or jump straight to a genre like romance or fantasy. The search box understands titles, authors, and tags.

Watch the clock

Free listings often expire. The expiring soon page shows everything ending within a week so you can grab deals before they vanish. Each book page shows exactly how much time is left.

When you find a book you want, open its page and use the access form — you will get a direct link to the book from the person who published it.
