Download useful books for free!

This is a scam. I think the real intention is to harvest e-mail
addresses for spammers.


I already downloaded 2 books, and I am planning to download all books
listed.

They'd like you to sign up for the service because downloading for free
seems to have a limit of 1 or 2 books per day or per some time period
(becuase last night it won't let me download any more after the second book)
and one has to wait for 60 seconds before the download starts. Other than
that, I saw no other problem.

I scanned the files downloaded using EST anti virus software, and so far,
all clean.

It seems like a good deal.

Btw, for those who like free books, go to google book search, and click on
full preview, and then search. A number of the books that come up have PDF
version that one can download for free as well. (But those books are old and
have their copy-rights expired)

There are other places on the net where free books are available. Google it.
