How Can I Read "The Color Purple" Online For Free?

Unfortunately, you cannot read the novel 'The Color Purple' anywhere online for free. This is because the book is protected by copyright laws, meaning it is illegal to distribute it for free; it would be like downloading a movie online for free.

If you have a small budget there are still ways you could buy a copy of the novel cheaply. Certainly, you do not have to go to the nearest book store and buy the first available copy as there are other ways of getting the book for a much cheaper price. Follow these tips on how to get the book for cheaper or free:

• Libraries

I am sure you have heard of going to a library, so why not call in and pick up a copy of the book for free? Of course, you cannot keep the book forever but you can read it and keep it for a few weeks. If you really love it and want to read it over again- just get it re-issued.

• Borrow a copy

Ask your friends and family if they have a copy of the book you could borrow. 'The Color Purple' is a true classic novel so somebody is bound to have a copy they could lend you.

• Second Hand

Look on online auction sites where people sell unwanted clothes, books, games and other items. One of the most well know sites is eBay so have a look on there for used copies for a fraction of the price you would pay for a new edition in a book store.

• Discount sites

Other sites such as Amazon sell books at real discounted prices too so have a look online.
