Free Ebooks

Free Ebooks
I’m going to cut through some of the confusion, and show you how to get, keep, and consume free ebooks. It’s a fairly quick skate across the surface though, so you’ll need to do some more work yourself.
Just to clarify, ebooks, for the sake of this discussion, are books which are available electronically, rather than printed on dead trees, and which can be read on an electronic device of some sort. And completely free ebooks, just now, are those which are legitimately available for free. Other options exist. We all know that.

E-book Reader Matrix

E-book Reader Matrix
Much of the renewed enthusiasm for e-books comes from a new generation of e-book reader devices because they use the E Ink technology which has been eagerly awaited, and the feature sets are much richer than devices could offer in the past. This new display technology has the distinct advantage of only using power for page turns, not to maintain a page display.
But most importantly, it provides a crisp, clear image on a larger display screen that rivals print seen in paper books.

Caveat Emptor - words of caution for the buyer of e-books
http://www.terry-freedman.org.uk/artman/publish/article_77.shtml
Caveat Emptor Some words of caution for the would-be buyer of e-books
The title is the sum total of my knowledge of Latin. It means ?et the buyer beware? In other words, if you buy a pig in a poke from an e-publisher, you may be partly to blame for not doing your research properly.
Let? look at the economics of e-publishing. Once the e-publisher has produced the book, costs per book are effectively zero, because there is no printing involved. What e-publishers provide for the author is a showcase for his work, and the service of acting as a retailer by selling and shipping the book. Now, some e-publishers charge authors for this service, and some authors are willing to pay for it.

http://www.freepint.com/issues/010201.htm#feature
"E-Books" By Andrew Cox and Heba Mohammed
If you like formal definitions, an E-Book has been defined as 'a term used to describe a text analogous to a book that is in digital form to be displayed on a computer screen.' (International Encyclopedia of Information and Library science/ edited by: John Feather and Paul Sturges. 1997). Of course a CD-ROM of an encyclopaedia is really an electronic book, and there are a few books available on the Web - so E-Books have been around for ages.
