Keryl Raist (kerylraist) | 240 comments Has anyone checked to see if the books are actually there?

Some sites will list just about everything, but when you actually hit the download, you end up with jibberish and a socially transmitted disease for your computer.

Sorry to see your books are up there. Are you going to complain?

I clicked on a few links to try downloading but you have to register as a member.


message 4: by Keryl (new)

Keryl Raist (kerylraist) | 240 comments Anything you search on that site will come up as having files.

I don't think your books are actually there.

Amos Fairchild (amostfairchild) | 305 comments Yeah. It does seem to say it will download anything you type in. Like "frog poo kung foo" in multiple formats. lol. I won't join up as a member to test any of it I think.

Katie Stewart (katiewstewart) | 1099 comments Now why didn't I think to type in "frog poo kung foo". I could have saved myself so much angst!

It does look as if it's a scam site. Sorry to cause a stir.

Amos Fairchild (amostfairchild) | 305 comments Well, you never know with these things. This one might be harvesting personal details or something. might have a bigger play with it later.

Thing is you never know with these sites. The mobibookz website is one where all the books on it are available in .mobi file. You have to register too to download books, all highly illegal. Came across the website here on a thread somewhere as well as on the Amazon Kindle forums a while back.

http://mobibookz.co/

ETA : I signed up thinking it was a legit online store.

K.A. Jordan (kajordan) | 3042 comments Something of Mary W. Walters was copied on one of those sites - and it was all junk.

I've got something on one of them too.

My blog gets hits from Russia and China - I'm afraid they are finding people from it.

My getting ready to kill my blog as soon as I get the new website.

That looks like a harvest job, without any actual books.

There is however a thriving market in pirated books. Here someone is openly advertising for PDFs of named Andrew McCoy novels:
