As a library student I spend a lot of time with books and I wanted to expand my experience in the field.

It didn?t take too long before I found countless e books for sale at very low prices and I jumped at the chance to purchase some. I decided to write this article just to warn people to be careful if you see deals offering many e books for a minimal cost.

Don?t get me wrong?I?m not suggesting that the seller is doing anything underhanded, but perhaps they don?t realize that many of the e books supplied contain links which no longer work or information which is seriously out dated and you often can?t even contact the companies associated with the original production of the book anymore. Some e books offer links to programs which take you to a error 404 message and the site is no longer at that address.

I?m now in the process of checking and sorting?one at a time?each and every book I put on my website to ensure that nobody purchases anything which is perhaps no longer any use to anyone (and I?m talking about a LARGE number of e books?in the thousands)

So my site is coming along a lot slower than I originally planned but hey that?s life and maybe this article might help someone else avoid the small yet annoying pitfall I myself encountered.

With saying all that however, I have also found a wealth of valuable information from experts in their field as well as some simply entertaining reading in my travels?so don?t stop buying e books?just be wary.
