I'm thinking of revamping our books section. Usually we only get three books in there, and sometimes only two. I'm thinking of moving the free FSF advert we run somewhere else in the magazine, freeing up both pages, then changing the format so that the pictures are smaller and we have slightly fewer words per book. The end result would be, rather than three books an issue, we have six.

Hey,
I have been searching over the net for some good Linux books, and have got a few names.
Please can we pass pdf's/soft copies of some good Linux books here.
So I've downloaded a few books thanks to KAT and uTorrent. I would like to send them from my S3 to Amazon (so that I can send it to my Kindle.) I tried sending it to my Kindle.com address through gmail... With no luck. I use Calibre when I need to get it done on my pc, however the apps for it in the Play Store don't seem to be the same thing.
I'm curious if anyone has any good resources for free or cheap e-Books I could peruse on my iPhone. I find that a lot of services like Google and Amazon like to brag that they have thousands of free books available for download, but most of the ones I find are public domain works that have been around for 200 years and I'm not in the least bit interested in reading.
To provide an insight into the free software that is available, we have compiled a list of 7 of our favorite e-book software. Hopefully, there will be something of interest here for anyone who wants to read, organise and create electronic books. We give our highest recommendation to Calibre.
