Sometimes when you go shopping, whether it is online or physically, sometimes you walk into a place and think, “Yeah, this is GREAT!” That is what I was thinking when I first stumbled upon this site.It has a very basic design and I was super excited, because it seemed almost intuitive. It had a lot of downloads to choose from and it took me a few minutes to find some web development books that interested me.
But unfortunately, even though the first download I tried to access had three download links, none of them were active. The second one I tried sent me to a site that wanted me to set up a membership to be able to download.

I have found the easiest way to find FREE ebooks is to search the web using my favorite search engine. Everyone has a favorite but I have a tendency to use google most days!
Most ebooks come in a PDF format for easy viewing and downloading. Beware of ebooks that have different file extensions. They can be executable file extensions that will run programs on your computer when you click on them. They could carry anything including viruses and Trojans. PDF’s are nice because it is a universal platform with a free reader from Adobe. If you don’t have it, you can download it here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Are you tired of your books on the shelf?
What kinds of ebooks are free online?
This is the question everyone wants to know. It really all stems back to what is copyrighted. If a book still has an active copyright on it, then there is someone who should be profiting from it. Those books are obviously not free. Unless they are giving them away for a certain promotional purpose, most writers want to get paid.
Luckily for us all, there are sights that convert classics with expired copyrights into ebooks and then make them available for downloading. Introducing Project Gutenberg at http://www.gutenberg.org/ .
