I tried it. All I got were a bunch of Google ads. I am apparently not qualified to run this search engine.

Thank you for providing this link.
It is a rather nice search engine for finding information, especially PDFs. Regards, |

Ah, I figured it out. It's just a portal that uses Google's "filetype" searching.
For example, go to Google.com and type "mysearchstring filetype: pdf" and it returns all pdf's that match your search. |

I came across Boocu in the Feb/Mar issue of a French magazine called Linux Pratique Essential. After mentioning another e-book search engine neotake.com (discussed previously in MR - see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...hlight=neotake), the magazine goes on to say, "On citera également Boocu qui utilise en partie les service de Google Livres et qui a l'avantage de proposer la liste des boutiques vendant l'ouvarage recherché", which I think means something like, Boocu can also be mentioned, as it uses part of the Google Books service, which has the advantage of offering a list of shops selling the desired book.
If you want free e-books in ePub format, then try neotake.com. Last edited by boxcorner; 01-29-2011 at 04:37 AM. |
