How to Snag Free or $1 Summer Beach Reads

If your vacation plans include a little light summer reading, you couldn’t ask for lighter fare this year. Most of us won’t be packing any physical books to go along on our vacations; we’ll just whip out some kind of device and download something. But while the downloads might be wispier than air itself, most books, digital downloads or not, still come with a hefty price tag.

, by Kathryn Stockett, and it goes for $13.63 hardcover from Amazon or $13.88 from Barnes and Noble, $9.43 for paperback at both retailers and $9.99 for the Kindle or Nook editions. Considering that a movie ticket to see the Hollywood version will likely run you more than any of those options, you’re not getting such a bad deal.

But what if you want some cheaper options? How does free strike you? How about $1? Here are a few ways to get free or low cost eBooks that you might actually want to read:

Daily Free Kindle Books Amazon offers a wide selection of free eBook deals in the Kindle format. It’s almost impossible to keep up with them all, but you can always look at an aggregator like dealnews  (where, yes, I’m the editorial director) to spotlight the better books to snag. Don’t worry if you don’t have a Kindle, you can get the free reader and put it on your Mac, PC, iPhone, Android phone, iPad or other tablet.

Free Nook Books While no eReaders have made it particularly easy to lend books to other human beings like you can with real books, you can actually do it. Look for books that are marked for lending on whatever system you use. The more ambitious among us set up social media strategies to game the system, like listing the books you have available to lend on Facebook and asking your friends to do the same. You can also set up a buying collective, which was actually suggested to me by a Barnes and Noble customer service rep. What you do is share an account among several people, and any book one of you buys is available to the others with the account info. This works best among families and close friends that trust each other with access to credit card information.

Borrow from a Stranger This is kind of like leaving a book behind in the hotel library for another guest to use. There are several online collectives, like bookfriend.me , and you can also do searches on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for people sharing books. Nook users have the head start here, since the Nook has always had this feature, but Kindle users are catching up.

Where can I find credible criticisms about the theme of deception in the play Hamlet?

I’m writing an essay about the play Hamlet , and it is required to have at least two secondary sources, but I am having trouble finding criticisms. I’m writing about the theme of deception, particularly about Hamlet , Polonius, and Claudius. I’m not allowed to use “invalid” sources such as sparknotes , wikipeida, etc. Any help of where I could find valid sources pertaining to my topic would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
