    Ebay ebooks

    hi
    why are there so many ebooks on ebay?: what are they exactly? just pdf's or something?

    is there anywhere to get them for free to sell on if they do actually make money?
    thanks

    Theres a little money in it, but quite honestly i dont think the work you'd have to put in would outweigh the money you made.

    I also hate Ebooks with a passion and i think anyone selling them should be banned from ebay as they like 100 of the same thing which just gets in the way of all the actual items.

    Bearing in mind that's a website which distributes pirated copies of software in general. In fact, there's nothing really legal on there. e-books are books that you buy in paperback form but in their native pdf format. You can get free e-books off the internet which are also books but it's rare to generally get free e-books, they're usually illegally distributed

    I was short on cash and needed some extra notes for my PSP. I saw that loads of people were doing it so I thought it was worth a try. Bought one for 2 quid (with full resale rights ) and made about 70 quid with it.

    A despicable practice, I know, but I needed the cash.

    Was that written consent from the author or full copyright holder?
