So, where can you find e-books in Chinese? Weibo Books offers an excellent selection of world-renowned publications that have been translated into Chinese, as well as original Chinese language books.
QiDian Books offers a massive selection of online e-books. Unlike Weibo Books, not all of these are published offline. Amazon offers a selection of Chinese e-books through Kindle. With a Kindle app, you can read e-books on any device. At amazon. Go to the Foreign Languages category, and then select Chinese language, which currently has over 4, titles.
Loyal Books is a free online library. Their selection is small, but all of their e-books are free. You can also stream audio versions of books. All e-books are free to download. Project Gutenberg, an online library of e-books, has a small selection of Chinese language e-books. What about Taiwan?
Is the ebook market any better developed there? Hong Kong? I got excited about this , but it seems to be Gutenberg repackaged. I've found some texts online other sites, nothing consistent either, it really depends on what book I'm looking for , and the one I'm reading seems to have a lot of errors in the text You get what you pay for, I guess Like, pretty bad errors too, like pages being scanned out of order in some cases.
I don't even mind paying, if it would ensure some sort of quality But sadly my search so far hasn't turned up anything. I realize buying the physical books would solve the quality issue, but at this point I still need a handy dictionary thanks Pleco! WangYuHong: I don't believe Sina offers ebook downloads. If you are talking about reading books on web pages, then perhaps you'd like to join our Chinese book portal discussion.
As far as I can tell, it's like a forum where people ask for stuff, and people upload documents that other people asked for and something about needing points to download stuff, although I haven't bothered figuring out much beyond that. But I haven't used them too much to measure the quality of the documents provided I'm aware of Sina and QQ having sections for online books basically a string of webpages for each book, annoying as that sounds , but I need something that I can read on an airplane Of course, if the quality of the books on those portals is much better than what I've been finding, I might just join that discussion to figure out how to scrape the text and get things that way I just downloaded.
They both seem to work fine when I open them in my Kindle Touch. Shucang's selection seems pretty good and they offer a lot of free ebooks for download not sure if it's every title. The only downside is that you have to actually register for the site.

Anime Light Novels offers tons of great free titles for you to read. Navigating the site and downloading light novels is fairly easy.
A list of available novels is shown when you enter the site, and clicking on one of them will redirect you to a page with the name of the author and a plot summary. Below these, you will see the portions that are available for download.
This is Rekt Novel Compilations' light novel list page. Of all of the sites listed here, Rekt Novel Compilations is probably the most direct in terms of downloading. With just one click, you can download any available title easily without having to visit any short-lengthening URL sites like AdFly.
Despite the convenient downloading process, this site does have its limitations. It doesn't provide any categorization, so the available titles are simply arranged in alphabetical order. The selection is also somewhat limited, so don't expect to find all of the novels on your reading list in the site's catalog. Finally, plot summaries, genres, and tags are not provided, so users will need to google any unfamiliar titles in order to get more information.
Henkanepubs is another fairly simple site that provides a decent number of light and web novels, many of which are not available on other sites. The site primarily offers Korean and Chinese titles, though some Japanese novels are available as well. Downloading is easy—just click on the parts you wish to download. They are usually shown below or alongside the author and plot summary. The site also has some minor downsides.
One is the relatively small number of available novels. Luckily, users can request light novels they would like to see added to the site though there are no guarantees requested titles will actually be added.
Understandably, these updates typically take weeks or months since there are only a few people managing the site. Still, this is a great feature that should serve as a model for other sites. This page shows Lnwepubs' list of available light and web novels.
Lnwepubs is similar to Rekt Novel Compilations in both page design and downloading, so you shouldn't have much trouble finding and accessing the novels you're looking for. This site's selection is impressive; it hosts around novels, most of which are Japanese-translated.
Though the vast selection of available novels is definitely something to be grateful for, the site also has its share of downsides.
