Is there an index of them all anywhere? It looks as if you either have to search for a particular one, or page through 11,000 of them 20 at a time! >> I haven't noticed this being mentioned before - The Book Depository has >> 11,000 PDFs of printed books for free download: [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > to search for a particular one, or page through 11,000 of them 20 at a > time! There's a link on that page, at the right, which says "Search Free Books". That takes you to: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/dealsAndOffers/promo/id/100 from where you can "Search within results" which gives you a search of this sort: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/dealsAndOffers/promo/id/100?&searchTerm=austen SignatureDavid > > On Feb 2, 5:56 pm, the Omrud<usenet.om...@gEXPUNGEmail.com> wrote: > >> I haven't noticed this being mentioned before - The Book Depository has [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > which gives you a search of this sort:http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/dealsAndOffers/promo/id/100?&searchTe... Yes, that's right. The reason I was interested in an index was that I'd like to compare this list of books to Gutenberg to see if there are any here that are not on Gutenberg. With the cumbersome gui, it's not that easy to find this out. >>>> I haven't noticed this being mentioned before - The Book Depository has >>>> 11,000 PDFs of printed books for free download: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > are any here that are not on Gutenberg.

Indeed, and if I get a reply, I'll post it here. There are 125 books by Jerome K. Jerome in Gutenberg, but only 31 in this repository, so I thought it was a subset, but then I found there was a lot more by Kant. > > On 03/02/2010 11:56, PeterBrookswrote: > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > thought it was a subset, but then I found there was a lot more by > Kant.

They probably don't want one, for they intend to start selling ebooks. They just want to have people visiting their pages over and over again, Jan |
