Free Ebook Download(s)

Disclaimer: This is not a post where you can download free ebooks, it is however, a post where I will share my knowledge on how to find where one could download them for free.

Okay, this will not even a list because Google might find me and kick my ass real bad if they find me posting about piracy. However, it pains me real bad when people keep posting stupid questions at Yahoo! Answers. I mean, hello?! Can't nobody use search engines these days? One just has to put key words, and i mean KEY words, to get what they need. Cut some slack please.

So, in looking for ebooks, try using Yahoo! or Google first. Remember to put the title, author, and terms "ebook" or "download" to your query. I'm sure you're bound to get something.

If that doesn't work, use torrents. You will need a program like uTorrent to download shit, though, but it is worth it. To find an ebook torrent, you then need to add the term "torrent" to your search.

But if you want to do it library style, since you don't have a particular title in mind, there are tons of ebook downloading sites all over the place. One problem, though, is that most only offer classics and canon literature. You could try ebookplanet, ebookhood, projectgutenberg, and such.

If these still don't work, try searching other publishing places, like Scribd (I love this site), or other media sites like rapidshare or megaupload.

Then again, if you still haven't found your book, search for forums. But the problem here, since other users are "giving" away the ebook, you might need to follow some instructions or conditions (like sharing stuff you have) before they give you what you do want. This could be real hassle sometimes, but what the heck? You're not buying the book for chrissake!

If you still don't find what you're looking for, maybe it's not yet on the web and you should just go buy it at your local or online bookstore.

I hope this helps. Ü
