Internet and Web general Info

Online Bookstores

These have search engines to help find books on-line. A number of others will search off-line.

Sources for online books

  • Project Gutenberg has about 25,000 volumes available, mostly older. 
  • Manybooks.net does a bit better job of organizing listings & offering multiple formats. 
  • Feedbooks.com. offers most books in multiple formats 
  • Use Google Book Search advanced option, and indicate "Full text" search option; this returns listings with the full text available online. The Internet Archive is also a generally good source. A number of government-related and NGO research centers also offer free downloadable versions of books and reports.
  • Baen Free Library for science fiction and fantasy fans.
