nope, unless the book is in the public domain, you don't have the right to upload it here. in general (there are exceptions, but let's try to keep it simple to start...) books enter the public domain 50 years after the death of the author in canada, and 70 years after the death of the author in the US, and most of europe. mobileread has servers in canada and in the US and we make sure to respect copyright in the country the file is hosted in, because it would be a shame to have the forum threatened by a lawsuit for copyright infringement. you can check out the huge collection of PD books we have available by clicking on "ebooks" in the blue navigation bar near the top of the page.
thanks for asking first.
