The Internet Archive has made access to more than 1.4 million ebooks free for people stuck indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The books will be available through a new portal called the National Emergency Library, something the Internet Archive organizers decided to create to help universities transition to remote instruction.
The Open Library has a wide range of titles, including textbooks, novels, non-fiction books, and more.
Digital copies of books had to be checked out from the Open Library, and the number of times any individual book could be checked out was limited in the same way a normal library would have been limited based on the number of physical copies available.
