A lot of good books to choose from and download for free, involves some tedious steps, but worth it. I Checked the google trends, and apparently its being most used in Ethiopia, Iran and Algeria in total volume ofcourse China. I dont think the eltist academic publishers had a market’ anyway, except for the hotshots and they’re all there, all the classics of everyone in numerous languages.
1. One needs to register with a gmail (preferably not your real name)
2. Search for books in the top-right box but click search in gigapedia rather than google or gigle)
3. Click the Result, and go to the Links tab between ‘Comment’ and Description’
4. click whichever link (the most convinient ones interms of waiting time and accessibility are ifile.it, mediafire, megaupload, then rapidshare, which is the worst)
5. Sometime they download directly as a PDF, but usually it is .rar zipped (This de/compresser called Peazip is free, reliable, and unzipps all extentions (.rar .7z .gz) encountered
6. Unzip it, and usually it comes as one file, but quite often its just a folder with 1pdf per page of the book, which means one needs a stacking programm ( i’ve used this simple one pdfsam)
7. The end-result, are either a,) very clean and high-quality e-books (70% of the time) b.) classical copy-machine scans of the whole book (usually the big files <20mb 10%)*** or c.) HTML books, which can only be read in a Browser (10%).
Enjoy
