Free Books, No Shipping

Free eBooks and no shipping. ebooks? Are you thinking worthless, not a real book, old, public domain, or filled with affiliate links? Those terms might be applied to some ebooks, but not all. With the advent of Amazon's Kindle, Google Book's library, and other advances, books in electronic form are now in the mainstream and worth another look.

Many published authors are offering their 3, 4, 500 page books in PDF format for free. Fellow blogger dlfreebook has set up hundreds of links to get recent books in PDF format for free. Sometimes these will be one revision back from the latest edition in the bookstores. Would you like to read eBay's Jim Griffith's The Official eBay Bible, Andrew Goodman's Winning Results with Google Adwords, or Lee Jordan's Blogger: Beyond the Basics, all for free? These and many more are available to you.

Many of these ebooks are in PDF format, so you will need Adobe's Reader to read them. Also most are in compressed formats for downloading like ZIP and RAR. When I downloaded some from dlfreebook, I was given the opportunity to download a free uncompression untility called jZip. It was quick and easy to install and there is no adware, no spyware, no pop-ups, no trojans, and no toolbars. jZip handles ZIP, RAR, and many other compression formats.

Enjoy. If you know of any other great free ebook sites like this, please leave a comment.

Unfortunately that site is no longer available. But I love ebooks! If you come across it or another one, I sure hope that you'll post it again.
