Adding a new page

I’ve decided to add a new page to the site. I remember when I first bought my Rocket e-book, I spent more time just trying to find books rather than read. There wasn’t much out there, but today there are quite a few. Some sites offer free ebooks, free chapter excerpts, as well as novels for sale. The problem is knowing where they are. Later today I will add a few of the places I know about along with a description and post here. Then I’ll add some more during the coming days. If you know of any places online please leave a comment. Once posted on the home page, I’ll move them to the ”Where to Get E-books” page, for a quick reference.

My favorite is Baen. They have many in their free library. None of their books have DRM, they are reasonably priced and they have many formats. Unfortunately they are somewhat specialized in military related SciFi and they currently do not support the LRF format used by the Sony Reader. However they do have formats that can be used with the Sony, e.g. RTF, and also have Mobipocket, MS .lit, HTML, Palm & Rocket/Ebookwise. They do have a few books by other publishers as well, e.g. Tor.
Try searching with Digital Reading Search
It’s a Google Custom Search Engine that searches the free and paid-for ebook sites.
(Baen, PG, ManyBooks etc are on the list)… no warez.
Thanks Guys! I will add your suggesstions to the list.

Hi Ellen,
I’d like to recommend my own website, http://www.BooksForABuck.com. We specialize in affordable novel-length fiction. We do sell many of our books through Fictionwise and Mobipocket, but some of our books (especially our cheapest books) are available only through the publisher website. Also, new books are on sale for only $1 during their first month of availability–before they go on Mobipocket, Fictionwise, or other distributors.

P.S. Keep up the good work spreading the eBook word.
Rob,
Thanks for the link and description of your website. I haven’t been to Books for a Buck recently, but I will check it out again. I have been looking for some new stuff to read. I really like your prices. Thanks for dropping by.
