So I got my mom one of these for Christmas... ain't really played with it much, besides going on Chapters and seeing how you can buy books etc...

But does anyone know where to get books for free? Or other ways to get more digital publications?

Or any good sites for kobo/kindles?

Thanks!

I love my kindle! If you go onto Amazon, you can get literally thousand of out-of-copyright books for free!

Nice device! I enjoy it but it has given me an expensive book habit.

I could never get into ebooks. Something about it just doesn't feel right. I find myself more skimming than reading, and there is something about flipping pages of a real book that just feels... normal

I've tried ebooks and I just can't get into them....my attention span on computer devices is just not there. There is just something about a real book that makes me sit down for hours at a time and just read.

It is usually the screen. The e-ink screens help a lot.

I just wish the prices were better. Many of reference books just are not cheap enough to justify getting the ebook version. For a book that is 1000 pages, and costs $40, to be sold for $35 is a bit outrageous. They expect us to believe that printing and shipping is only $5 of the cost?

I guess it will take them a while to realise (just like the music industry) that they need to have better pricing.

I was very skeptical at first too, preffered the book and thought tablet reading would be annoying, hurt the eyes etc. But the kobo (don't call it a kindle or the bitches at Chapters and Indigo with crucify you!). [Kobo{CANADA]=Kindle{US}]

But the Kobo, very lightweight, not hard to hold at all, and the screen is very easy on the eyes. Not to fond of the buttons, but that's not a huge deal.

So, back to the original questions, besides the non copyright, and school, or classic novels etc... anyone know where to get some non DRM'ed or free version of the popular stuff? The bestsellers etc?

BestSellers ....i havent found online. Computer related books on the other hand....got tons.


I read on my iPad and I havent had issues so far (PDF's). My only issue with the ipad is the weight. I've weighed the kindle and its super light... I need the screen size of ipad tho...
