What you can read for free
The free shelf on Scolar is a mix of a few things: public-domain classics whose copyright has expired (Nepali and world literature, philosophy, older reference works), publisher and author promotions where a title is given away for a period to build readership, sample chapters of paid books, and a rotating set of study material — Loksewa practice sets, past-paper PDFs and school readers that partners have cleared for free distribution.
Every free title is a complete, genuine file — not a locked preview dressed up as a download. You get the same EPUB or PDF a paying reader would, with no watermark and no expiry. Titles marked free today may return to a paid price later when a promotion ends, so it is worth claiming one while it is listed even if you plan to read it next month.
To read a free ebook you still add it to your library (at Rs. 0), which links the file to your Scolar account so it syncs across the website and the Android and iOS app. From there, open it in the browser reader or download the EPUB/PDF for offline reading — useful where mobile data is expensive or coverage is patchy. No card, eSewa or Khalti step is involved for a free title.
If you are after paid digital titles as well, the full ebooks in Nepal catalogue lists everything in EPUB and PDF, and audiobooks cover the same library in listening form, including a free tier of their own.
Common questions
- Are these really free, or free-with-signup?
- Genuinely free. You add the title to your library at Rs. 0 so it syncs to your devices; there is no payment step and no trial that later charges you.
- Which formats do free ebooks come in?
- EPUB (reflows to any screen, best on a phone) and PDF (fixed layout, best for textbooks and solved papers). Most titles offer both.
- Can I read them offline?
- Yes. Download the file once and read it in the Scolar app or any EPUB/PDF reader without mobile data.
- Will a free title stay free forever?
- Public-domain classics stay free permanently. Promotional titles can return to a paid price when the promotion ends, but anything already in your library stays yours.
