A word of caution. I went to the pages for two or three of the books and each one of the pages had a prominent green rectangular box on the top right hand side that said "start download." This is an advertisement. Furthermore, my anti-malware program (malwarebytes) identifies the program that you would be downloading (InstallConverter_TSV14CUOY.exe) as malware. You don't want to install this!

Also, I tried putting in a tip of $0 for a book or two, but the Site wouldn't allow it. The minimum that I could get it to accept was $1. So, unless I missed something, the "free" books will require you to "donate" at least $1 each. Of course, some of you may find one or more of the books worth a dollar or more and so that won't be a problem to you.
