Hi James,
They have quite a range of books in fiction an non fiction. And yes I do
agree with you that you often find on these sites, books and authors, that
you have never heard of. But I did come across some books by Stephen King,
and Terry Pratchett. But if you are like me and will read every think and
anything, then they are great places, to look for books, that you can't get
from nlb or tb. The file formats they use are,
Adobe Acrobat (PDF)
Microsoft Reader (LIT)
Palm Doc (PDB)
Rocket/REB1100 (RB)
Franklin eBookMan (FUB)
hiebook (KML)
iSilo (PDB)
Mobipocket (PRC)
OEBFF Full VGA (IMP)
OEBFF Half VGA (IMP).
The one I use is Microsoft Reader (LIT) and I use a program called doc
tools, to convert them to text files. I have not been using the site for
very long, but so far I have had no problems, with the site or the files.
All the best
Petrina,

Hi Petrina
What sort of range do they have on their? I've got the impression over
the years that sites offering ebooks in unprotected format often carry
very non-mainstream stuff, or books you won't have heard of anywhere.
Also, what file formats do they offer and what sort of experience have you
had with using the files you purchase?
Thanks
James
