Free e-Books - the APS sharing library!
« on: May 05, 2013, 08:02:23 PM »
There's nothing like a little self-improvement on a given hobby or task.

I'll start with a nice photography e-Book that's free until May 31st.

Store failed for me too.  But, that looks like something I'd be interested in.  Not being able to capture what I see is something that frustrates me.

Assuming the point is to share free e-books (?) Baen makes a ton of their sci-fi available for free, particularly if you like David Weber (Honor Harrington series).  A bunch of their CDs of e-books are mirrored here.  Follow the link for "The Baen Free Library" at the bottom of the page to go to Baen's website to find individual titles.  No DRM, many formats.

Me too. From work, so I have limited ability to try things to fix it, but that's EXACTLY what I got. Eh. I can try again tomorrow. Er, today.
