Free books online
« on: August 07, 2007, 10:57:26 PM »
I was recently introduced to a new site out there where you can order and download PDFs of books.  This goes from comic books to classics to various other genres.  You are only allowed 5 per day, but I have had a good deal of benefit from this.

Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.

So I checked this site out anda lot of the books on there are not of too much interest to me. But, I was hoping that I'd find some books that I'd like, and so I search by author and by ISBN (10 and 13) and by titles. With no luck in finding these books I will have to resort to Christmas wish list.

In case you wondering I was looking for - Christopher Moore, Tom Robbins, and Chuck Palahniuk.

For good comics, try looking up Dreamland or Lullaby.

I just downloaded a new series called PistolFist last night.  We'll see how that reads.

I have also download the US Military CounterInsurgency Manual.

I just downloaded the first one of that series and I'm just about done with the Dreamland Chronicles. Good stories so far, still looking for other ones too.

Check out Lullaby.  There are 4 episodes to it, and two are more than 4 parts so far.

Did Wowio change how many books you can download from 5 to 3?

Umm, I am not sure.  I will check when I get home.  I have been busy reading so I haven't tried downloading any in a while.  It was 5 last I saw.
