I read ebooks using ubook on my Dell Axim X51V.

i use this often

very helpful

torrent sites as textbooks are plus.

i used to get my books from bitme or occassionaly what.cd

Mostly e-books, where I get them from depends on what they are.

Before I moved I got 99% of my books from the library. With Greasemonkey and a repurposed version of this script here http://www.mundell.org/2005/07/07/se...script-part-2/ I could look at books on Amazon and it would automagically show me if it was in my library.

If your library's website has the name HORIZON on the bottom as their online catalog provider you can edit the script pretty easy to check your library.

1. Buy them :(
2. Look up in my university library.
3. Beg someone in the US to ship a book (from amazon to me).

dc++ hub

prive trackers .....

http://www.ebookshare.net/

bookshops

i would love to get an ebook reader, it just hurts my eyes too much to get into a book on my desk top you know?

Mostly from book stores or in private trackers with ebooks.

Usually get then on the internet :#

Bookshops, and online stores. But browsing bookstores stays my favorite saturday morning recreation.
E-books just ain't my thing. What can i say, i'm old-fashioned :happy:

Library and book store.

any sites other than the library where you can ebooks online free?

I actually take photocopies of the books I use at University because here in my country the books are really expensive

I usually print them...

i most likely get them from library, and there are pretty amazing books there:P also since there are lots of books, it is high likely that you find the one...

Barnes and Noble..

:P

private trackers, online libraries and libraries

OmG I didnt know you were a picky one :) ok then get yourself a campaign buddy

can someone give me a demonoid invitation?

book shops

www.ebooksshares.org offer a good book selection.

the library
Mine is great for e-books and regular books

retail
amazon
half price books
borders
b&n

torrent trackers
bitme
bitseduce

the rest are gifts from friends and family

I HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEthe library:(
even though I love being able to read the books there, I will never borrow one again.
late fees that are 3x the price of the damn magazine, or twice the price of the book are lame and I'm forgetful.


New books:wherever I get a giftcard for.


I am a huge fan of brick and mortar second hand book stores:)
I tend to buy books I am fairly certain they will take for cheap from garage sales, then trade them in on other books.
I avoid paying more then 2-3$ for Pbooks that way.
There are 2 good ones near me, incredibly helpful, and it's nice to have someone who really cares about books and is interested in similar subjects to help you find similar books, google hasn't got nothing on a good human being for that yet IMO.

For Ebooks I love donation supported books(cory doctorow etc)
I will happily send them some dollars, because they make it easy, and don't make getting their books into a huge hassle:)
I like supporting the people who make stuff a reasonable amount, I make things for my living and I like when people pay for them too.


I've looked at docs.torrents, elbitz, bitme, textbooktorrents, demonoid, but haven't found much fiction, although they do a good job on nonfiction.
Honestly, I just stick to the piratebay for fiction and obscure ebooks, a non-dedicated tracker is too small to find stuff like that on IMO.


Usenet for new books/magazines, encrypted download at 1.5 megabytes/sec is hard to beat.

I believe(hopefully someday I'll find out:)) that ebookvortex is the only really good private tracker for ebooks.

which site or tracker offering books and magazines relate to graphics design
also novels

I have a collection of ebooks and I posted them on my blog where you can download them for free..:happy:


Click my sig to get there! :yup:
