hi,
where i will find ebooks for kids?
August 18th, 2008@good parenting - Google ebooks for kids, you’ll find plenty!
August 18th, 2008Great post. I hope people save paper and avoid printing though.
August 18th, 2008@Zeshan - If I do print an eBook, I pass them around between several people. Then I either archive for future reference (I add sticky notes to the useful pages) or recycle by printing on the blank side.
Sometimes printing stuff out is the only way to get people to read things, unfortunately. If you you reuse or archive them it’s not as wasteful
August 18th, 2008Thanks for the list Adam! I see a few that look extremely useful!
You can also save them to disc and share that way, print on recycled paper if you have to print, - or make your own notes of importance from an ebook and email it to your friends and colleagues (or expound upon it in a blog post) to eliminate waste :-)

There are some good reads in that list and I say that mainly because I’ve read a few of them. Chris Brogan has some excellent reads on his site as well (of course you already knew that)… But really, I review some of the e-books he has listed on his site fairly often. It’s good to skim through the material everyone now and again ya know?
I’m working my way to reading Liz Strauss’ new e-book but that one isn’t free. I suppose I’ll avoid discussing that here since the topic is “free” e-books, hehe…
August 26th, 2008@ricardo - feel free to write anything here - go as offtopic as you like, i never censor commenters =)
cheers,
