Direct Download Site for Books
I thought it might be useful to share the best free direct download sites for books. Please post your favourite DD sites.

A few weeks ago a user posted a couple of websites:

http://freebookspot.es/
http://ebookee.org/

However, of late, I have found links are more often that not subject to take down requests on these sites and/or you have to pay the direct download providor.

The best book site at the moment (especially for non-fiction) that I know of is this one.
http://bookos.org/

Also, if you are prepared to spend a little money, this is a great site with a huge range of content - http://www.synet.net/

Academic
I would like to kickstart an initiative to up more academic content - textbooks, journal articles etc. The prices university book shops charge IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY! They're more expensive than the book depository. I've started upping the academic content I have collected for my studies. What I've started to do is upload it in bundles in topic areas.

I think users like Mantesh and Orion do great work with their non-fiction uploads (and this isn't a sideswipe at them - everyone has their own niche), but I think we could use some more dedicated academic uploaders, and people prepared to seed the content.

I have access to JSTOR and ProQuest, but not all articles unfortunately. If you have a request, PM with the URL and I'll do my best.

These are what I use for non-fiction:
-libgen.info
-and it's mama- http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
-ebookoid.net (most free, has lots of hard to find books, has a simple log-in)
-Your local and state library! Borrow from the ebook library and accidentally run it through Calibre (with the plug-in). You should be able to use your local library card to sign up to your state library (all online from your local library website) and that's where the good books are.
And don't forget to share on Kat because we don't realise that a lot of people here don't have access to textbooks and good libraries loveliness

No. We are not trying to promote a commercial operation. We are simply showing another method for sourcing books, free of charge.
