Finding ebooks. Best engine?

rvdparis · 08-25-2010, 01:41 PM

Hello all!

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for the most comprehensive ebook search engine there is. I'm an academic looking for specialized books, and I really need a search engine that is like the google of ebook search engines.

Any ideas?

Maybe this doesn't exist yet??

Thanks for your help,

Rich

PS...Actually I am looking for Distinction and The Logic of Practice, by Pierre Bourdieu, in English, I have both as physical books, but I am out of the country and need e-versions. Any ideas how to find them? THANKS!!! (Not sure where to post this kind of request or even if it's allowed...SORRY!)

GA, me too, but both have been failing me more and more often of late. I emailed AddAll, but never got a reply. I don't have another source, but if one or both of these doesn't turn up a title, dig farther (check the bookstore sites)...you might still find it.
