What do you do when you want to download the book on the Internet? Probably you go to Google and Drives a something like "Perfume Suskind download". Guessed? Well, it's not the most efficient and perhaps the most dangerous way to download anything on the web. And therefore I represent your attention six non-obvious ways to find and download a book on the Internet, do not pick up the full computer viruses.
Greed and piracy? Not!
I respect writers (me and the author himself) and two hands for ensuring that they receive money for their books. But there are times when the book is simply impossible to buy. Here is an example. Not so long ago I read the excellent book "Career war" David D'Alessandro. The book is a great, but I just could not find where to buy it. I had to download a free audiobook.
Or any book is needed urgently, for example, the day before graduation. And there are also people like me who are so fused with its electronic reader that does not think in a different reading.
In all these cases, we may need to download the book.
Be sure to buy your favorite book after you have read it with the downloaded version. In my budget to allocate more for the cost of books. Not a bit sorry for the money.
Method №1 - Online Store
Large selection of e-books offers, such as "Ozone».
Let's look for a number of popular books on personal effectiveness. And a rare book - "How to write a good ..." William Zinsera.
We see the following picture:
Title | Paper book | Digital book |
"How affairs in order ..." - David Allen | 514 p. | 250 p. |
"Time Drive. How to have time to live and work "- Gleb Archangel | 465 p. | 250 p. |

As you can see, digital goods are not always - only for the most popular books.
Yet it is a pity that it is impossible, such as in the Amazon, download the first 50 pages to understand what you are all going to pay.
And yet, I try to just buy a digital book that, as already mentioned above, to thank the author. It is more profitable and more convenient than ordering a hard copy (price is almost 2.5 times lower).
And sometimes you can see in the presence of an audiobook:
Method №2 - Google Search for files
Organic search, but only in the format you need - PDF, ePub, DOC, RTF, DjVu.
Google, for example, "zinser how to write well" and select "Advanced Search":
We choose the desired format:
And you can make it easier - to bookmark this link and then just change the title of the book. Formats unfortunately, have to sort out one by one. All right look will not work.
By the way, look for a better "Google", because it will be more powerful, "Yandex" and often swallows even those files that it does not meant.
The result - the desired book was found immediately:
Method №3 - Internal Search "VKontakte" for documents
Keep the link - vk.com/docs
This is an internal search for "VKontakte" for documents.
By default, all the documents that users "VC" is loaded into your account, are available in this search.
We are looking for the right book to us - a success again:
I often find there books that could not be found in other ways.
Method №4 - «librusec"
"Librusec" - a large electronic library where you can find almost anything.
However, download all formats that you like, you can not - you need to buy a subscription (299 rubles per month). Personally, I just send all the content first in Evernote Clearly, then in PrintToPDF in Chrome. It turns out quite a e-book.
This library is periodically blocked by Roskomnadzor. To use it at any time, I use friGate extension for "chrome".
Method №5 - search "rutrekere"
«rutrekere"- the main torrent tracker Russia. Movies, TV shows, music - yes. But there are the necessary books.
Tracker is good that all files are checked by moderators before rassharivaniya, besides you on the comments of users immediately realize whether to download the book worthwhile.
Books Zinsera, however, to "rutrekere" was not there. But sometimes there are really rare books (this is where I found the audiobook "Haul War").
Method №6 - Search Shingle
So it happens that you have even some book fragment: torn page (take care of the book!) Or a poor quality scan. In this case, you can try to find a book on the shingle - exact text fragment.
Take our website and pull out pozakovyristey offer, for example, is: "Then Dr. Brock asked if writing process is necessary." We enter this long and precise line in the "Google" and see:
2 sites have posted the entire text. This often happens. Users scan a book, recognize the text and placed in the network, the fruit of more and more new pages. Nothing good about it, but sometimes it can not find enough rare book, a note or a term paper.
If all else fails
Of course, if the material is needed desperately and the ways above have not yielded any result, it is necessary to use a conventional search. This search happily report that there are 100,500 matching pages.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of these pages - a fiction. You will have to hack their way through dozens of banners with jumping people undressed, doomsday predictions and suggestions to pick a prize. At the end of the road, as a rule, personal or promotional virus. Although a couple of times I smiled luck.
