eBook Site List
Here is a list I have compiled from links I have found here and on the net. By no means is it complete. If you have anything to add or suggestions to change I will do my best to keep it updated.

wouldn't it be easier to put the text of the .doc directly in a post ? you can do active links as well. unless the .doc is something like 50 pages long of course...
but good initiative, it's always nice to find new sources for books. [EDIT : never mind, i've opened the file now and i see why you did it that way. spoke too soon ] |

I've attached a minimally cleaned up HTML file, but I had to zip it for the site to attach it. It could be done as plain text but you'd lose the clickable links. Last edited by moz; 03-25-2008 at 09:35 PM. Reason: added html |

true, true (so completely true...), but i was expecting a straight list, which it would have been simpler to place directly in the forum. i agree a spreadsheet would be better. i don't know whether you can make a table inside a forum post, can you ?

I did make it as a spreadsheet. When I clicked the attachment button though .xls wasn't listed so, I assumed xls wasn't an authorized attachment. So the next thing i did was just copy and past it into word. I have never been able to make tables in forum posts.

Tables you probably want to do in the wiki. That also suits the "problem" that random people will want to add sites to the list. Would you consider putting it in the wiki?
https://wiki.mobileread.com/ And sorry, I forgot to say "thanks for collecting the links" first. Oops. Thanks |

Well, as you can tell I'm relatively new to this site. I didn't know about the wiki. It looks like there is already a "store" link on the wiki. Looks I got some more editing to do. The wiki list has some that I don't and vice versa.
The other question would be which format would you prefer. The one the wiki currently has https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_stores , mine, or a combination of the two? |

I prefer your layout, but I'm not sure the wiki supports it. I haven't really looked at tables in a wiki before, sorry. I definitely prefer to have this stuff in the wiki though. It only takes one person to upload an MS-Word script with a virus and we'll all get grumpy.
Hmm, looks easy enough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table |

I also have a lot of stores listed on my home page, also in alphabetical order that I had planned to merge into the wiki when I get a chance. So far other wiki stuff has taken a priority but it is on my list. Go ahead and take a stab at it if you wish. It is nice when everybody contributes. Be sure and register on the wiki page. Dale |

Ok, I'll see what I can come up with. It's just about sleep time for me now so, I'll start looking at it tomorrow. This is where I'll put the table for now so, you can keep an eye on my progress. https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_stores_table

Ok I got my list put into the Wiki Table I am still doing some tweaks on it to make it look better. I figured I'd get some comments on it for improvement suggestions, before I get to bent out of shape over minor tweaks.
I still also have to add the other stores I'm missing from the other wiki page and DaleDe's homepage. |
