Download free eBooks or create and publish an eBook

Posted on October 19, 2007 at 9:49 am

FeedBooks is a new site that is geared towards providing eBooks that can easily be viewed on eBook viewing devices, such as the Sony PRS-500, iLiad, PDF A4 format, or even a custom sized format for any eBook reader. Not only that, but you can also publish your own eBooks and share them with others or create eBook newspapers of multiple RSS feeds and widgets.

That was a lot for one paragraph, so I’ll go through some of the main features point by point:

1. Upload/download public domain books or original books written by you

2. Create your own eBooks and customize the look of your eBooks

3. Crate a custom newspaper, which allows you to take your favorite RSS feeds, publish them together along with widgets like Sudoku, and share them with others.

The cool thing about FeedBooks is that you can download the eBooks into several custom formats. The site was designed for easy viewing on some of the most popular eBook devices, so owners of those devices will be happy. If you subscribe to a bunch of RSS feeds, you can easily mesh them into one and then quickly convert it to the format for your mobile device.

Here’s a link to my feed that you can download and view on your mobile device:

There current collection of public domain books is not HUGE, but it’s not tiny either. Of course, most of the books are classics such as Anna Karenina, The Confessions, The Brothers Karamazov, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, etc.

You can search for books by Author, Types, Recent, Top Recommended or by tags. After browsing through the site, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes to read while on the go and prefers eBooks, i.e. college/high school students, etc.

Overall, a pretty cool site that allows you to get content and share your content with others in a mobile format quickly and easily. This could be another option for for bloggers who can have readers subscribe via RSS, email, and now eBook format! Enjoy!

I think you meant for the image to link to the Feedbooks site. Or not?

Brian, the link to FeedBooks is the first word of the first sentence. It’s a little hard to notice. I’ll go ahead and make the image a link also.

Thanks,
