Not everyone has access to the same learning resources. For example, an Ivy League student can tap into vastly different assets than someone paying their way through community college.

Online library Perlego can help level the playing field. By offering unlimited access to more than 900,000 academic and nonfiction books, it allows anyone to study and research thousands of topics. One-year, two-year and three-year subscriptions to Perlego are on sale for $99, $159 and $199 for a limited time.

Anyone can learn with this massive online library

Perlego gives you free roam through a digital library packed with titles on psychology, computer science, education, classical literature, personal development, project management and much more. Granted, many people conduct their research on Google or other search engines these days. However, a 2020 study found that only 28% of scholarly articles are open-access.

Since the Perlego library reaches nearly a million books, you most likely won’t read everything in it. However, you can certainly use it as a vast resource for research and self-guided learning. So if you don’t have access to a well-stocked public library or university research archives, you can still expand your knowledge using Perlego.

You can access the library on iOS, iPadOS or any modern web browser. Perlego also provides built-in study aids to help you process what you read, including tools for annotation, highlighting and even background page color changing. Let’s see hard-copy books do that!

Members can access Perlego on unlimited devices, so you and the entire family can brush up on your studies. Search for texts by author, title or ISBN, or browse books on a shared topic. When it comes to research tools, Perlego is one of the best resources available. That may be why it garnered nearly 1,400 positive customer reviews on Trustpilot.
