Hi,

I know there are sources like Gutenberg and Librivox for text and audio of books but the only ones I found there
are from old literature. Personally I am trying to learn french so that is what I am looking for and any ideas of
modern books that is free would be great.

For anyone that wants something in English I have found Scott Sigler where
you can find both free books in audioform as well as PDFs. I need to warn though that his writing is really gore.

Has anyone else found writers like this that really use the "new media"?

Regards,

Fredrik

Thank you for the link. I'd forgotten about them. On their page they have a link to many Turkish ebooks here which is new to me (although truthfully, some of those books don't really look legal.)

There's also Open Culture. I don't know if there are any French books but they do have links to French courses.

Here's a master list of free language learning links:
