Free Textbooks for All?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students and readers alike can now download, print and distribute almost 750,000 e-books for free from the World eBook Fair.\u00c2\u00a0 The eBook Fair is sponsored by The World Public Library Consortia, one of the largest providers of e-books online.\u00c2\u00a0 Founded in 1996, the World Electronic Book Library Consortia is a global effort to preserve and disseminate classic works, commercial books, textbooks, encyclopedias and other reference works in an array of languages to a worldwide public.<\/p>\n

The World eBook Fair will last from July 4th to Aug. 4th,, during which time users can legally download any book they want from the 125 vast collections available.\u00c2\u00a0 The e-books, which include instructional materials, government documents and textbooks, can be read with Adobe Reader.\u00c2\u00a0 To access the World eBook Fair, visit http:\/\/www.worldebookfair.com\/.<\/p>\n
