I found a good one! eBookee It has lists of eBooks by subject, including law and even some tax texts. Lots of computer books - no suprise there!! The site links out to eBook sites like iFree

ATOLearning exercise:

1. Go to www.ebookee.com
2. Have a look at the ebooks that are available on the site (encyclopedias, classics)
3. Check out the 'free magazine subscriptions'
4. Read about Amazon's Kindle

Enjoy!!

Thing #47: New Web 2.0 site

I don't know if this classifies as web 2.0 but it is neat anyway and is designed to look like a lot of the sites that we have discovered through Learning 2.0/2.1. Service Central is a site where you log a job that you need a trades person, professional or provider for and they arrange for several services who are able to do the work in your area to contact you. It is a great time saver if it works, as you are not calling hundreds of numbers to find a company that does your size job, covers your area and has the time to do it. As far as I can see it covers Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney at least. It also has an option for sharing your experience and feedback with others so it fulfills that social networking criteria at least. I can see more and more services like this popping up as the MySpace generation grows up expecting better online access to everything. Now I know this isn't really work related so I will try to come up with something else with exercises that can be followed :-)
