Download Ebooks from Goodreads Online
Many people love to use Googreads to keep track of the books they want to read and discover new books. If that is your case, you are lucky, because there is a new method to download ebooks from Goodreads page for free.
All you need is a browser extension. Once installed, It will display a download link on each book detail page. You can just click to download. It fetches ebooks from LibGen, LibGen Fiction, Memory Of The World & OpenLibrary. You can always change the source if needed.
The Ebook downloader extension, Bunken, is open-sourced and available for Chrome and Firefox. If you use Firefox, you can simply click this link to install. For Chrome, you will need a few more steps because this extension is not available in the Chrome web store.
For Chrome users, you can follow the steps below to install the chrome extension manually.
Step 1. Go to the GitHub page of the Goodreads downloader extension, Bunken.
Step 2. Click on the green Code button and select Download Zip.
Step 3. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
Step 4. Turn developer mode on.
Step 5. Drag the downloaded extension files to Chrome.

By default, the Ebook downloader extension searches ebooks on LibGen. If it cannot find a result, you can click to change the source to another source.
Download eBooks Online
If you don’t use Goodreads, you can simply download Ebooks online. Many websites offer free ebooks download. After testing around, we pick 2 for you.
PDFDrive is an online search engine mainly for PDFs. It also offers other formats for some ebooks. Once you find the book you want, you can convert the PDF to EPUB or MOBI. According to the site, it has more than 75 million ebooks for you to download and read online.
Z-library is a shadow library project for accessing free ebooks. It provides access to more than 8 million books for free. It is available in English, Russian, Ukrainian, and German. According to Z-Library, it is a non-profit project, so no need to worry about redirecting ads.
Z-Libray App
Z-library is a free online platform that provides access to millions of books and articles in various formats. Users can download, read, and share the content they find on Z-library app with ease. Z-library app also allows users to upload their own books and documents to the platform, contributing to the growth of the digital library.
Z-library app is compatible with most devices and operating systems, and it has a user-friendly interface that makes browsing and searching for content simple and fast.
Custom Google Search for Books
Many websites allow you to download Ebooks for free. Chances are you will need to search on a few websites to find the book you want. To save you time, I have created this custom Google Search Engine only for ebooks.
It includes a few dozen free ebook download sites. You can just input your query in the search box. If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave a comment.
Bonus: Google Search Operators for Books
As the number 1 search engine, surely Google can help you find ebooks too. You can use Google seach operators to make your search results more precise, namely, focus on ebooks.
Filetype is to restrict results to a certain filetype. In terms of books, you can use PDF, TXT, EPUB, MOBI, etc. for example, you can type “game of thrones filetype:pdf” (without quotes).
Inurl is to find results with a certain word in the URL. It is similar to the Filetype operator. You can even do it with the operator by simply adding an ebook format extension at the end of your query.
Conclusion
After trying these methods, I haven’t failed to find any ebooks. Hopefully, these will help you download ebooks for free as well. Among them, custom Google search is the most efficient. You are welcome to suggest more ebook download sites to index in the custom search engine to make it even better.
