FREE E-books

Hi all,

Before we went cruising in 04 we set up a Yahoo group to let of family and friends keep up with our travels. We set it up so only we can post to it so no “spam” will be sent out from us.

We have seen that there is a files area of this group site and have not used it before. But I think I have found a great place to put some files that others might be interested in.

So, for our first effort, I have uploaded about 250 FREE Ebooks to it so anyone should be able to download them. They are in groups of about 20 books each in a zip type file. Just download and unzip them. Sorry I can't label all the names of all the books. Just to much work. But I think there is something for everyone, from “265 foreign dishes” (cook book) to Edgar Allen Poe to the Canterbury Tales to Aristotle to Keats........

They are all in the ePub format as that is what Jill (Sony reader) and I (Nook reader) use. If you use any other format, just download the VERY good free “calibre” ebook management program ( http://calibre-ebook.com/download ). You also may need to download the free zip program 7-zip to unzip the files ( http://download.cnet.com/7-Zip/3000-2250_4-10045185.html?tag=mncol;1 )

So, ALL of the books and the 2 programs are FREE!!!

This is not a link to our web site, just to our Yahoo Group site.
The books are at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Position_Reports-Guenevere/files/Books/

Hope you enjoy.
