Wowser, thanks! Actually, I'm shocked, there are recent books there.

I googled Hagarism, which I tried to get from Amazon a few years ago. There was one used copy, around $150, I think it was. Pipes referred to it in an article, so I did another search and picked up this site. There it was, in both English and Arabic.

Hagarism's copyright 1980, so I didn't think it was 'legal.'

These sites could come in very handy...

ROTFL! Scribd is legitimate--a social document sharing site. New material is free, but there is a subscription for accessing archived stuff.

If you want to download pirated material of all media, you can use a bit-torrent client like µTorrent ( http://www.utorrent.com/ ) and a tracker like Pirate Bay ( http://xrl.us/bm8gpy [Link to thepiratebay.se] )

For example, here is a torrent containing ALL of the books on the NY Times bestseller list in both epub and mobi formats:

There are millions of books available free at the Internet Archive ( http://www.archive.org/ ), Project Gutenberg ( http://www.gutenberg.org ) and other sites:

As for sourcing the digitized books, there is a growing community of 'scanners' who are using inexpensive homebuilt gear and simple free software to scan books. Here's a peek at their world:
