Comments on: Find Your EBook http://ebookslist.net Largest Selection of e-books Sat, 13 Aug 2011 21:48:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: David Cobain http://ebookslist.net/#comment-945 David Cobain Mon, 20 Dec 2010 17:58:05 +0000 http://ebookslist.net/?page_id=17#comment-945 I would caution (too late, I now see) the man who posted the questions about ebooks and ebook readers, as he prepared to buy a reader for his wife. All the hype about the 'ease' of finding, downloading and reading ebooks is, in my experience, largely fictional: indeed, it would make a decent subject for a modern novel or some other work of fantasy. I have repeatedly found that I cannot find in ebook format quite common books I wished to download on to my ereader; and, most recently, when I did find an e copy of Enigma, a widely known and read popular work by Robert Harris, it was available only through Kindle -- which meant, as I and my wife discovered, to our astonishment and dismay, that I could not read the book on any other ereader than a Kindle. I have a Sony Touch. Enigma, like so many other works, is not available through the Sony bookstore. And so on and on and on.... This whole bloody ebook business is still in its grossly misconceived infancy. I am never an early-adopter -- but, in this case, I am beginning to fear that I have been conned.

If I do that, is the book out of my PC to make room for more books?? Does one need to join an e-book source? Google claims free e-books available. True??
