Open Books updates and announcements
Open Books, a site for easy browsing of DRM-free e-books (e-books without DRM) that are not in the public domain. calibre has a cornucopia of features including library management, e-book conversion, syncing with devices, news download, e-book viewing etc, but to make the most of these features with your e-books you need to ensure your e-books do not carry DRM.
Open Books is a compilation non DRM e-books from various sources linked to enable readers to browse and download them. Open books currently features over 3700 ebooks by over 2250 authors from 50 stores in 16 genres. 388 of the ebooks are Non-English, 271 are free and 951 cost $2 or less. The cataloguing is done by me alone so there may be errors or books that have been discontinued. Please use this thread to bring such things to my notice and I will try to rectify them as soon as possible. The open books website has a newest page that lists the 100 latest books added to open books. But I will make a post here every time I add about 10 to 15 ebooks of a particular category. I usually add 10 or so ebooks of a particular category (Romance or Fantasy or Humour, etc) at a time. The latest ebooks appear at the top of the page.

Unfortunately, EBG-store.it (Italian) titles carried by open books are no longer available there, so we have removed the titles from the open books catalog. Last edited by Krittika Goyal; 06-24-2013 at 07:39 AM. |

tribute to Jack Vance
As a tribute to Jack Vance, Open Books has just added a dozen DRM-free ebooks from amazon and the official Jack Vance website. Check it out.
PS: please let me know if the links to the official vance website pages selling the ebooks allow you to buy it if you are from the USA. They don't if you are in India, so i need the feedback. Also note that not all Jack Vance ebooks on amazon are DRM-free. Look for "Simultaneous Device Usage" under "Product Details" and if it is set to "Unlimited" only then the book is DRM-free. However all the ebooks on the official Jack Vance website are DRM-free, atleast that is what they say. |
