How To Find Specific E-Books Online
E-books serve very well in two cases. First, the electronic version of a book is the ideal companion to the real physical book you already own, especially with technical literature, when you are learning, studying or using it as a reference. With an accompanying e-book, you can easily search and find specific keywords in a glimpse (the power of Ctrl-F!) which would be a tedious task if done manually. Second, before you buy a new book in an online bookstore, you may want to have a deeper look at it in order to verify that the contents match your expectations. In some online stores such as Amazon you have the ability to get a preview for some books, but the preview is very limited (you can see the table of contents, and search for specific terms) but you can't freely browse through it.Even though the price for commercially available e-books is often quite high (considering that there are essentially no copy costs), there are many projects aiming to make ebooks freely available (check out this article for a more comprehensive list). These public domain ebooks are great resources of knowledge, but what if you already have a specific book and want to find an electronic edition copy of it?
Well, you could just try googling them. However, using a simple query for the book's title might not get you the expected results in most cases, therefore people came up with more specialized queries using Google's advanced query operators. Surely, you could also search it in your favorite bittorrent sites if you don't care about possibly "extra-legal" findings.
The solution. I'd like to recommend you a tool that makes finding ebooks easier: eBook Searchr! It's an e-book search engine based on Google's Custom Search technology and it currently searches more than 200 selected and categorized e-book sites, including the ones mentioned above. Although the default settings contain "extra-legal" results as well, if you don't like to see those, you can restrict your search to the "Public Domain" area or to "Commercial" stores only. Anything you find on eBook Searchr, you can also find it googling. However, the difference with this custom search engine is this:
That specific e-book is, of course, my free e-book!

I think e-books are a great technology to make possible something like your free book, but you don't wanna read the Da Vinci Code in your computer right? And I have a laptop so I most of the time use it lying in bed or something, I don't wanna imagine in a desktop computer.
Maybe it'd be cool with something like the iPhone (or PSP etc.), don't you think is likely that Apple starts selling e-books in iTunes at some point? I think they haven't done it yet because of the small iPod screen. Oh well there's the battery, we need solar-powered gizmos already!!
nice summary, thanks for pointing that out! what's also nice is that ebook searchr provides a firefox search pugin which you can add to the top right search box in your browser..
@santosuke: just read somewhere that there are some ebook reader softwares for the psp as well.
just tried it and i could find almost any book in english language, but there seem to be not so much in german language.
but still, great resource for english language books
dugg it
GREAT STUFF! Now what do I do with the many e-books I have downloaded and yet to read?
cool. thanks for the resource.
I love e-books for research, but as a teacher, I sometimes hate e-books as students don't read all the materials and it's way too easy to cut and paste.
Good resource. Thanks!
