Sources of books in ePub format
Hi
It looks like ePub is getting a momentum, so I start to wonder where the books in this format are available from. There's a number of threads in these forums regarding book sources, however all those discussions tend to talk about all formats Hence my question to the community: where are you going to get your books in ePub format? Here is the list of sources I am aware of:

With the ever-growing popularity of FBReader (being the only good reader software on some platforms) and all the new iPhone owners, I expect this would be a relavent difference for a lot of people. Jack |

Jack, you can read DRM protected ePub and PDF on a 505 with the new firmware.

Wouldn't it be great if the sources carrying books that could be used by any ePub reader were easily identified? Jack |

From their blog item I'd gather that it's only about RSS feeds... However from a quick look at the site itself, it seems that they offer ePub downloads for their books as well...

I am making a list over at ePubBooks.com of all the places that have ePub books available.
Please do let me know if I have missed any (the current book over at Tor will not be available after the 27th July, if they continue to provide ePub I will include them). |
