A guy named Woody in the kindlekorner group at Yahoo has created a download guide. Here's a clip from his post: "The download guide is a kindle book. Think of it as a catalog. . . . . . Using the Kindle web browser, enter this URL:
LINK DELETED That will download the guide to your Kindle." (That redirects to LINK DELETED. )
I downloaded it, transferred it to my PC, renamed it from .azw to .prc and opened it with MobiPocket Reader. It appears to me that all the books in his download guide are from MobileRead -- but I have not explored the document thoroughly to determine whether he provides links to other sites or not.
Attached to this message are two screen shots: The beginning of the "newest books" from the download guide and the eBooks upload area of MobileRead for a couple of days before the 1 June 2008 date in the most recent download guide.
I think this guy has done a good thing by putting together a MobiPocket file that can be used by Kindle users to directly download books. BUT ... he never acknowledges the source of the books. I would guess that very few (if any) of the members of the kindlekorner group know about MobileRead and are totally unaware where the books come from.
