Where can I get free ebooks for downloading?

If you get a kindle can you get ebooks from barnes and nobles to get ebooks?

Or is that only for the nook, and vise versa if you get the nook can you use amazon to get ebooks? Just wondering thanks!
Answer:

Most for-purchase books are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) systems that are particular to the ereader, so, no, you can't count on being able to buy B&N ebooks for your Kindle, or Amazon ebooks for your Nook. There are lots of places, however, which offer free books that will work on most ereaders. Sometimes its a single format that most support (EPUB, TXT, PDF, etc); sometimes multiple ebook formats are listed per book. The sites listed here have for-purchase ebooks and free ebook downloads: http://www.howtodecide.com/ebook-download/ Also, if you master a good conversion tool such as Calibre, http://calibre-ebook.com/ you'll gain access to more formats than just your ereader's native ebook file formats. Calibre will not, however, overcome DRM of protected for-purchase books.

No, they are direct competitors and specifically are against one another. You can't read nook books using a Kindle or Kindle app and you can't read Kindle ebooks using a nook or nook app. You can't download books for the Kindle using a nook and viceversa. As a side note, the nook color can be hacked to turn it into an android tablet, but it does require a good degree of technical knowledge so I don't recommend it because it voids the warranty and nook color is a pricey gadget. Not worth the risk to do so unless you truly know your way around this type of gadget.

Kindle uses the Amazon Kindle format and the Nook uses the Barnes & Nobles format. Neither wants you to use the other store to buy your ebooks. Now, there are other format that you can load into both, but each ereaders wants you to shop at their own store.

it all depends on the format of the ebook. i believe most ebooks are either in .pdf or .epub i do not believe the kindle reads .epub books.

I think nook are a different format than kindle, but you can find conversion software to port it over to kindle.
