I recently stumbled across a very cool site that offers free E-books. The site is call WOWIO. What is WOWIO?
WOWIO is a new kind of online bookstore that enables readers to download ebooks for free, using commercial sponsorships to compensate authors and publishers. Readers get free ebooks. Sponsors get a powerful new channel to communicate their message to precisely the people they want to reach. Publishers get a new means of distributing their books, expanding their readership, and monetizing their intellectual property.
I've only been using WOWIO for a few days now, but I'm impressed. Quality E-Books (actual, real books!) for free. Each E-Book has an advertisement included in the first few pages. Other than that, the book are advertisement free.
There are a few limitations.
- You have to register with a non-anonymous e-mail address. That means, gmail, hotmail, or yahoo e-mail addresses can not be used to register. The alternative is to use a non-anonymous e-mail address, a credit card (for verification purposes only), or a scanned picture of an ID card.
- You can only download 3 E-books each day.
- Currently, the E-Books are only available in Adobe PDF format.
If you can deal with those 3 limitations, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. This is a great service.

Hey, great site but one more drawback! This site can only be used if you are a resident of the United States, "due to copyright laws" Too bad, they have some nice graphic design books
