This is quite wonderful. I've just downloaded a Pauline Kael reader (the book's title being, as it happens, The Pauline Kael Reader) which has 3591 pages.cheerios wrote:the link on this site takes you to a pretty good place where you can find a ton of cool books:

Yes! Before, it was easy, you could send them amazon giftcards, but now I don't even bother. I'm going to try to figure out those payment options one of these days, though.

I still think ebookoid is pretty cool. Starting in the beginning of January, they will be a membership run site, $10 a month gets you UNLIMITED books to download, they are promoting it as an "All you can read" thing because people were complaining about paying $0.99 for a book...
