I love free software

First, ALWAYS be careful about what you upload, download or allow access to your computer or mobile device.

That said, this site offers links and downloads for useful, fun and sometimes just crazy free software. These are not trial versions of paid software and all are completely free, and legal.

E-Book Management

E-books are all the rage, as someone said to me the other night, get with the modern times LOL. Well I don't deny my love of the real (?) paper books that I can hold in my hand, turn real pages and carry with me and read anywhere, with no care for battery life or electricity. Okay, you get the picture, I love book books. However, I do like the e-books and their instant capabilities and the convenience of uploading a book anytime anywhere.

If you are uploading ebooks onto your computer or device, I just stumbled upon a cool, easy to use software (free by the way, at least the last time I was there) called Calibre. It syncs with every known e-reader out there and you can transfer books back and forth between your device and computer. Nice. The link is http://calibre-ebook.com

Other options for calibre is uploading other literature and periodicals directly to your calibre library. There is a very simple tutorial at the very beginning and you are good to go!

Let me know if you try it and how it works....
