Most of these sites have free e-books. Beware that some have pop up's that you may have to wade through or control. Some links may no longer work but most have a new link leading you to the new site.There is something here for everyone.
However I do not claim to have visited every site so use at your own risk. :approve:

Most of those books you link to are not in e-book format, most are html pages, and a bunch of the links don't work.

Also, whats with the "warez" in some of your links?

psionandy

I suppose that depends on what you think 'e-book format' is. Personally I like the Project Gutenberg idea of plain text files. It gives me access to a wide range of files and then i can convert to my favourite reader. And when 'Superreader27' format comes out I don't have to throw my e-library away.


And I'm sure that any 'dodgey' sites are merely an oversite, and will be removed from the list shortly......

Awesome post mate. Thanks.

And mhuie which ebook format are you talking about? There are (probably) dozens. If you use uBook you can read multiple formats of books - works excellently.

I clearly stated in the post that these were "as is" with no commitment to working or style. And yes I still claim that most of the working links have E-books. If they are not in a format you like thats your choice to ignor them. Another factor is that these are links to the WORLD WIDE WEB, you know, a dynamic changing enviroment. Web links come and go and not all are supported indefinetly.

Glad some of you are enjoying the findings. Also if you review my post of how to find e-books using google you will observe that many of the findings are in some of the less desireable websites, but as with anything posted anywhere use your own good sense to partake or not. :approve:

Holy smokes - you've been busy! What an awesome resource. Thanks for sharing with everyone :approve:
