Ask anyone to name the number one Internet bookstore and
invariably they will mention the online bookselling giant
Amazon.com.
Amazon has spent millions of dollars cultivating a brand
awareness that helped it survive while other "dot com" giants
died off like dinosaurs.
However, despite its size and the impressive number of books it
carries, Amazon does not represent the only place to find books
online, especially the growing number of fiction, non-fiction
and how-to ebook titles arriving on the net daily.
The next time you want something to read, whether on real paper
or "e paper", check out one of these alternative bookstores -
you might find a jewel the folks at Amazon overlooked!
EbookConnections.com offers instructions on how to read ebooks
on your home computer, laptop, Palm Pilot or other palm sized
computing device. They also have a very useful guide to the
various types of ebook reader software packages available along
with download links.
EbookConnections.com makes and excellent first stop for anyone
curious about the world of ebooks and wants more information
about how they work, how to read them and where to find the best
ebooks online.
Ebooks Rock (http://ebooksrock.net/) contains a wealth of work
by new and emerging authors. The site offers profiles,
interviews and links to information and publications on a wide
variety of topics. It will definitely expand your thinking about
what you can find to read online.
The Ebooks portal at SearchKing (http://ebooks.searchking.com/)
provides an excellent portal for all aspects of ebook reading,
buying and publishing. The site offers information on
publishers, authors, software for making your own ebooks, and
even tutorials on how to sell your own ebooks! This Yahoo style
site rates a must look if you want an organized approach to
finding, reviewing and buying ebooks online.
Free-Ebooks.com offers just that - free ebooks for anyone who
wants to take the time to download them. The inventory on this
site appears a bit sparse, but you may find something of
interest and you sure can't beat the price.
Ebookmall.com offers one of the largest selections of ebooks
available online. Whether just casually shopping for the latest
offerings or searching for a specific title or author, the site
is well organized and makes it easy to shop and find what you
want.
www.1stbooks.com offers an exciting twist on ebook publishing in
that you have a choice of how you want the book delivered. You
can choose ebook, paperback or hardcover to receive your ebook.
Though the selection is still growing, this type of flexible,
consumer driven book delivery system will surely thrive in the
future.
Other sites that rate a look include:
www.electricebookstore.com , www.cyberread.com , and
www.ebook-case.com .
Though the quality of these sites varies widely and the online
publishing world remains far from perfect, part of the fun of
shopping for a new paperback comes from digging through the
shelves to find that perfect book - and the same holds true
online!
