Hi All, A few days ago I asked for links to sites with free digital textbooks. Thanks to all who sent links. I thought it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and share them with you all. (I'm sorry the formatting of this page seems to have a mind of its own!)

Put "English" in the search box and you >will get some in English. http://www.pustakalaya.org >From Abhishek Indoria (indoria_abhis...@hotmail.com) You need to register first (free) for this one. And, you must have a gmail account to use this site. Then, you can login. Please choose gigapedia from the search menu at the upper right corner of the site after you log in, and search for any book you like. Also, please visit the site's categories page to sort through them. It has more than 3 million books! http://gigapedia.com . And, here are 3 more sent without comments: >From Edward Cherlin (echer...@gmail.com) http://www.librarianchick.com/ >From (fors...@ozonline.com.au) http://www.seaton-olpc-ug.org/?q=node/227 >From Nicholas Doiron (ndoi...@andrew.cmu.edu) Audio versions of free ebooks. http://librivox.org/newcatalog/ I'll add a link from the California digital textbook project. So far the books are only for high school math and science, but the quality is excellent: http://about.ck12.org/ Kevin Mark (kevin.m...@verizon.net) suggested that there needs to be a site where there is a list of books available with evaluations. Sounds like a great idea for some one to pick up on. Check them out and let me know if you find anything you like. Cheers! Caryl OLPC Support Volunteer.
