Hi,

Yes, I am originally from Romania, though I have lived (almost) all my adult life here (I came here when I was 21 in 1990 to do my Ph.D. in math, but I moved away from academia for many years).
These days I tend to read mostly in English but there are some books (Ioan Dan, Radu Tudoran, Vintila Corbul, a lot of Dumas) that are available only in romanian or french from various sources (Abe books, romanian gift shop, Amazon.fr, relatives in Romania..) and I tend to scan/ocr my print copies (there are free romanian or french modules for various ocr software and they work as well as for english).
There are also online forums like the yahoo group cartionline, or the Romania based forum romaniainedit.3xforum.ro, but you have to decide for yourself whether to use such.
Also here in the NYC area there is a Romanian cultural center with a very extensive library that I used to borrow from a lot when I worked in the city.

I am originally from romania also.

I'd like to ask you where do you get romanian content(ebooks) from.

thanks!
