Hi all,
Sorry for starting a thread with such a low post-count, but I had what is hopefully a good idea and as I put a bit of work into it, I figured I'd give this a shot.
Short Version:Upload your ebooks to the qcforums@googlemail email for others to sample or read.
password: pintsize
obviously, please don't asshole and change it.
Elaborations:I got the metaphorical ball metaphorically rolling, having uploaded a few books already, and will be doing so proably for the next few hours.
I'm uploading some fiction books -
link to the complete list of these books
All the books can be found in the Books label (on the left, below the chat), not in the inbox.
I'm uploading these using the Firefox extention, Gspace.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1593Why you need it:It's nice if you have a whole directory of books you would like to upload - makes it so I don't have to drag each file individually into gmail. It also makes for easy browsing of files within gmail, and for easy downloading of entire directories (if, for example, you wish to download all books of a particular author). Or, you could always just search gmail for whichever book you want and download the attachment.
Obviously:Some of these books are out of copyright, some aren't. If you like the books, buy them, check them out of the library, or offer sexual favors to the authors that wrote them - any way you wish to support the book.
Project Gutenberg is an excellent place to get out-of-copyright books [gutenberg.org]
Let me know if I forgot anything.
edit: better link
