Ebooks

Post by Joviwan »

Where do people get them? I've never actually seen any kind of repository, or heard of any of my favorite books in a handy, easy read format. I am completely uneducated in the field of ebooks (RPG supplements not withstanding), and I was wondering if people could point me to a place with some kind of Vast Horde, or an otherwise decent selection to peruse. I am not above purchasing this(ese) digital product(s), ethereal though it(they) is(are), of course.

There's a few other sources out there, but the place I use the most is DrivethruRPG. It helps that their PDFs are marked down a fair amount from the hardcover price. Although the quality on the books can be hit or miss on occasion.

Project Gutenberg has a lot of free books, mainly older, out of copyright books, but a good selection nonetheless.

Microsoft Reader has its very own website where you can buy books from it.

http://www.mslit.com/default.asp?mjr=FIC&mnr=FIC009000 in fantasy for example. Granted, you would have download microsoft reader to read them, but since its freeware, its not a big loss.
