Found an interesting torrent on Mininova with about 270 popular science books (2.5 GB worth).  I'm still in the middle of downloading it, so I haven't sifted through all of it yet.  I know that not everyone here can do torrents so if you see anything on there that you want just let me know.

I think that should do.  if its not too much trouble.

[Iason Ouabache]

I'll put it all in a .zip file when I get the chance.  I have a few other Sagan books (The Pale Blue Dot, Dragons of Eden, The Demon Haunted World, Billion and Billions) if you want them too.

I didn't see that "The Big Bang Never Happened" book the first time.  I wonder how bad it is.

[Cain]

It could be amusing.

I have The Demon Haunted World, but anything else would be gratefully recieved too.

[Iason Ouabache]

I've got the books together as a .rar but I can't seem to upload it anywhere since it is way over the 100 MB limit most places set.  Any other suggestions?

[Cain]

Megaupload normally allows for 500 MB or so on its downloads.

Otherwise, I would suggest archiving them in 100MB files and uploading them that way.  If you don't know how to do that, just holla and I can give you instructions.

i have picked up a few pdf books my question is how do you read them with out a sore eyes neck etc ? any tricks ideas would be cool

[Cain]

I have a laptop, a nice chair, and a comfy bed.  Dunno about eyes, but I wear glasses for reading and watching television, so maybe they're not as strained as the average person.

And I look at all my e-books and remember how much money I saved, if the above are not available.

[Iason Ouabache]

I completely forgot about Megaupload.  Here's your link:

Warning for anyone else who tries to download the torrent:  it's compressed as a .uif file which takes a program like MagicISO to open.  It was annoying to deal with, but worth it in the long run.

[Cain]

Awesome, thanks.

Downloading now.  This will fill out my science e-book folder quite nicely....
