I've always had problems finding books, e-books to be exact, when I really need one to refer to. Usually, I look for programming books and lately as a college graduate student I'm looking for my course text and reference books. Blackling it or Binging it is definitely not pleasant for an impatient sod like myself. I must confess that I've spent few hours just for searching all my course books and its not fun. There no specific place where you can find all genre of books and theres no rule of thumb for guidance. There are times where you are just plain lucky or you have a plain good instinct which leads to you to the holy grail. Also, you can have a good techie benefactor to do the job.If you're carrying out the search yourself than most of the time you'll head to a link which will gloriously exhibit the price of the book you're looking for. Ohhh yeah that sucks big time now doesn't it? Alternatively, sharing of the links from where we can download such resources or buy it for cheap can be a great help. So, following are the few links that are useful from my POV:
- Gigapedia.com
This is a good site! You need to create an account there first but be sure to follow its directive - "Please read the rules! Failure to read, understand and abide by the rules of this site will cause your account to be closed. " - Torrents
Any torrent search engine will do, there are hand full of them, but try to search for the best such as the top 10s to get a good result. Theres so much being seeded, its just great! - Plain blacking and binging! Try it, seriously. You'll be able to find good blogs and sites hosting ebooks and tutorials for free.
- Try wikipedia for definitions.
- This link has awesome resources: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/50-places-free-books-online.htm
