You were expecting
C|Net? Sorry to disappoint... but the site was never intended to be a monolithic "
links to all the free stuff" site... if it was, we'd only need one page (and probably one link, to Pirate Bay).
It does, however, promote e-book reading and highlight the companies and individuals that do, and was created on the side by people who have day jobs and depend on the generous donations of others to maintain the site. Those who participate in REBW, and who offer the site as reference to those who are seeking information on e-books, maintain that it is a fantastic place to go to find out about e-books in general, and some individual sources of material in particular. The site has won a marketing award in that vein, and has been highlighted by major news outlets, award-winning writers and e-book sellers.
Anyway, it's not just about Free Stuff.
