section for books

justlizz · 02-15-2009, 06:06 AM

I am fairly new here and looking at all the sections which has taken a few months I wondered if we could have a section for help to find ebooks I have noticed that there are requests scattered all over forum I know there has been a few books I have wanted and the question has been asked but you have to search to find answer

Yes Patricia I have used the free books thank you all for the work in that but it is the pay books there are a lot of Questions asked on where they can find a certain book and they are asked in a lot of threads all I asked was could the find books be as one to save a lot of time

The wiki also has a list of ebook stores:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_stores

And I have had a lot of success in finding books, both ancient and modern, merely by googling. Put the author's name quotation marks, add the book title, also in quotation marks, and the word ebook.
e.g.
"Jane Austen" "Pride and Prejuduce" ebook
