this is a seriously good list, i love ebooks and will surely check all the 10 sites listed here. also congrats for the 6k stumbles this article has received, rightfully deserved
I don’t ever see myself reading books on a computer. Working on a computer all day, why would I relax with a book using a screen? I can’t read long documents on a computer screen without it giving me a headache,and my eyes hurting. I prefer to relax reading a real book in bed, on the bus/train, at the beach, ect.; without worrying if it might get wet or dropped. I can not understand the appeal of e-books.
Quite interesting and useful list. These sites are doing a great job by publishing free ebook and you are doing a fine job by listing them reducing our job on searching for these sites. Great keep it up
