Hi! I'm collecting ebooks as much as I can for me and my friends. Is that free? :mrgreen: Where can I download?

Thanks!

Ok what i suggest is whoever wants any of those books , to add me in msn simranjits@gmail.com and tell me which u need and i u/l them . That way i get to know more of u guys.

don't worry about speed , i'm on a 1mbit uplink , shouldn't be a problem for these small files.

Hi!

19M file is too big to send via email. You can split 19M file using free zip software from http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm and split it into smaller chunks. So you can email them. That how people do.

So after we downloaded those files into same folder, we just have to
extract first file and we got it. That's it.
