Find Free eBooks with Google
This is a very easy way to find eBooks using Google(Remember, Google is your friend!):
***Google:
-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip)
What does all of this mean? The
-inurl htm and
-inul html is attempting to get rid of regular webpages and show just index pages. Looking for
index of in the title is doing the same. Using the pipe ( | ) tells google to look for something OR something else. Here were are telling google to look for
book or
ebook directories... and we have listed several common ebook formats (zip, pdf, chf).
If you would like to look for a particular
author or
title just tack it to the end of your search, like:
***Google:
-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip) +"o'reilly"
This uses the same idea but attempts to focus on directories that contain
O'Reilly stuff.
