# 23 ebooks

http://worldebookfair.org/Collections.htm seems a huge site for free and very cheap download of ebooks. And I am surprised by http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page which provides huge amount of free e-resources, however its free only in USA as the copy rights of ebooks in this project have expired. This site is very user friendly as it has 3 to 4 alternative ways of viewing or downloading the resources. For distance education providers this site is a Gold mine.
http://librivox.org/ is great for audio books in MP3 format. I listened to and downloaded a little audio book form this site, down loading is slow but it works. Once it was on my computer desk it could be e-mailed. I feel this is great another site for distance education providers.
http://www.friedbeef.com/ is very interesting and useful place to get audio and e-books, has a great collection of many sites offering free e-resources. Feedback and comments include many additional sites to this collection. So many books to read and so little time!!!
