Two book-sharing sites—and one with writer-to-writer feedback

By David Rothman

Of possible interest—check ‘em out:

image1. Ebookhood: “Free conversion of texts to iPod and other e-book readers (PDF format) as well as library of e-books shared by our readers.” Note: Some of the books posted there might not be legally downloadable in the U.S. and some other countries.

image 2. Booksie.com: It’s another book-sharing site, which will soon offer conversion services. FAQ here.

3. TheNextBigWriter site—from Booksie’s owners—offering other members’ feedback on projects. Interesting related blog is here. Anyone have any experiences with TNBW? Yearly charge is $39.95, with other options available. Could be worth it if the feedback is helpful. Anyone bag a contract with a major publisher, as a result of using the site? Not that that’s the only way to go.
