Reading the classics at Gutenberg is great. 27,000+ books.

However for books 1923 and later, you need the author’s permission to read them online. Most authors can’t afford to give their books away for free. Wattpad is a site used by book pirates that illegally scan books and then give them away. This rips the author off and others.

Here is what Meg Cabot has to say about it.
“But what about the many hard-working people who edited, copy-edited, copy-set, printed, designed, publicized, and did whatever else was necessary to get that book into print? The publishing industry is in big trouble right now, just like all those other industries we hear about on TV every night during the evening news…only no one is bailing the publishing industry out.

So publishers are having to lay people off, shut down whole divisions, and cancel book contracts. Projects some of us have been working on are being “post-poned indefinitely.” One of my best friends just got laid off from her job last week. And of course, bookstores all over the country are having to shut down due to flagging sales.

This is just wrong.”
