Where to look for Books?
I’m a book worm and these days I’m reading a book a week. Of course I don’t read all the books holding in my hand. I read online or read e-books.
You have a lot of books which are available free and even free to distribute under the Creative Common license.

Online Book sharing - A YouTube like site
YouTube is very popular and most visited site for videos. People like it because it’s a one stop resource for people to share vidoes. Even we get to see copyright ones as well. Now Scribd is a YouTube like site for people to share their books. Soon it has became a pirates haven. So much books you get for free that you might not mind paying for!
I read this Harvard Graduation Speech by Conan O’Brien, it was an amazing stuff! Plus this is a great site for me to pass time in office, when I read books/docs online but others think I’m busy doing research shit.

I hate online or so much hyped e-books are pain to your eyes. still paper back rock as they are easy to read & cheap as compared to full hard cover editions.

Yeah ebooks are hyped. But they’re freebie.
In case I want to read any ebook, I break them in parts and then read. Not more than 20-30 pages in one go.
