Post subject: Follow-up: Where do you get your e-books?
Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 2:00 pm
Ok I've got my e-book reader all up and running on my DS now.
Next step: finding e-books I'm interested in
Everything I find is either the classics or computer programming books. Anywhere to get some modern/obscure stuff?
It looks to me that the e-books are not nearly as extensive as mp3's are. Can someone prove me wrong and find a veritable Barnes & Noble of the no warez e-book world?
Hmmm, I dont think the admins are going to like this, but I suppose its not as bad as roms and it is something Ive been wondering myself. I dont see how there'll be much of a community for E-Book warez though, I mean if you wanted to "dump" a book the way you would with a rom wouldnt you actually have to type it out in Word or something? Only people in the industry woul have access to the text file.
EDIT: Project Gutenburg might have something you want to read:

I guess that's why we can edit posts.
Do not request warez or copyrighted material on this site. Does that make it any clearer ?
On a technical note, people don't type out the books, they scan them in using a flatbed scanner and use OCR software to convert the scanned pages into text.
