Here are links to the full text of books online.
Full-text of library subscription ebooks, plus book reviews, dictionaries, encyclopedias and more. Most of these are licensed for Chaminade University only and require authentication.
Go to Databases by Title and search the table under Books and Ebooks.
Many of the following free full-text ebooks are classics in the public domain. They were written before the early part of the last century (from before the early 1900's) so you will probably not find the latest bestsellers in these free resources.
Note: also check Hawaii resources and other libraries.
