How to Download Books From Google

March 18, 2008 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials 

Up until now, there is no possible way of downloading ebooks from Google Books, Google only allows people to read the out-of-copyright books online (and only snippets of copyrighted works). The Inferno of Dante Alighieri By Dante Alighieri, John Dayman is an example of out-of-copyright books that can be downloaded online for free.

Please note that the copyrighted ebooks from Google Books can never be downloaded for free, personally I believe Google is slowly moving into the affiliate market in the near future and this could be the first step towards it. I have to admit that I bought a few book after going through Google Books and Google would be crazy not to make some money out of it.

On a lighter note, here are two popular online ebook companies, perfectly legal and free - Gutenberg and Scribd (the best).

    Please change that part of your post because it’s completely inaccurate. Google doesn’t make money from those links.

    “Google Book Search offers links to booksellers from whom you can buy the books you find. In the case of out of print books, the links go to used bookstores. Booksellers don’t pay us to include their links, and we don’t make money when you buy books from them.”
