Books

Can any of you recommend a good file sharing service for books? I'm just interested in books (the largest selection possible) and not music. I am always looking for hard to find books to read.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

DC ++

As far as books go, there is NOTHING that comes close to what you can find on DC. A distant second would be Suprnova.org with the use of Bittorrent.

hmmm....interesting. I meant to ask this some time ago, but forgot about it. Sweet.

Thank you for replying.

When you mention DC++, do you mean the regular DC++ hubs that we see when we download the software? Or are you referring to some other hubs ?

Thank you,

For once, i'd have to agree with Miniver.

The amount of e-books on the newsgroups is amazing.

:hole http://www.gutenberg.org/
http://www.archive.org/texts/collection.php?collection=millionbooks this site also has old video clips, amateur films, etc. a large archive.

and yes, alt.binaries.ebooks is incredible for, erm, newer and technical texts that arent necessarily in the public domain.

I forgot, also check out the live music archive at archive.org. gems all over that site.
