scribd - a wonderful website for IT books

After doing search for online books site, I find that www.scribd.com has really good resource that can made significant difference in your quest to learn technology/methodology/project management. The subscription has nominal charges $5/month for annual subscription and $9 for monthly basis. I think it has great IT books for the price.

Here are few points I like to mention to make best use of the site for IT books:

• Search www.scribd.com with the key words relating to your interest
• Take a look of articles that are written by common folks rather than professional writers. These articles are generally available for download as pdf file.
• I download as pdf file on my computer, upload in iCloud, and then again download into my iPad.
• The book is now stored in your local iPad and available for browsing when ever you need it.

Earlier I tried Safari Books Online, which is also great but way expensive (about $50+) for IT folks who have limited time.

There are other sites also but they want to install exe program which makes me very nervous.

Hope you find it useful. Let me know your ideas.
