Today. Feb 27th there are 1407 e-books posted to just one site -
alt.binaries.x. Most are copyright protected???
In most cases the postings represent some authors life work.
The e-book sites are so overloaded with postings applications have been made
for several new e-book newsgroup sites.
In the meantime postings are being made to virtually any site beginning with
alt.binaries.
If there is any bright spot in all this it is that apparently there are
thousands of hard drives around the country full of ebooks - hopefully
someone is actually doing some reading.
