For those of you who haven’t noticed yet, Chapters online has a new section call shortcovers and it is full of ebooks. Ebooks have become more popular now that there are ebook readers and cell phones that will allow you to read them. As a way to promote this section of their website, Chapters has an offer on right now that will allow you to download a free ebook of your choice (from a selected list) or choose any ebook for 33% off with coupon code Nov33 at checkout. If you’ve never read an ebook this is a good time to give it a try.
Click here to check out shortcovers at Chapters.
Thanks to couponlady for this heads up.

Sorry, hard to be enthused about this. All the “free” books on their list are old enough to be out of copyright and at least the one I chose, is just a link to web pages of the book, and not actual ebooks that you download to read off-line. All of this stuff has been available for years through the gutenburg site, and it looks like that is the source for these books that chapters is making hoopla about providing.

Just a heads-up - the Shortcovers website is completely separate from Chapters, which means you *can not* use Chapters gift certificates at Shortcovers.
I received a Sony Ereader for my birthday, and my mom gave me $75 worth of Chapters gift cards to fill it with e-books. I couldn’t figure out how to redeem them until customer service told me that they didn’t actually accept them at Shortcovers.
Plus the Shortcovers website is dreadful - trying to browse anything is hopeless.

I am always grateful to find free ebooks download being offered online. Freeloaders will definitely enjoy this treat. Thanks for sharing the site! It may not benefit everyone, but there will always be somebody who will have a great use for these ebook downloads.

The “Beijing Complete public transport guide” specifically designed for all English-speaking tourists and visitors to Beijing. This guide will enable you to get around Beijing with confidence and ease. The guide will save you lots of time and money. It was designed as a way to help you find the information you need quickly.
Beijing is a huge metropolis. Most of its people do not understand a word of English. In addition, when you finally find English speakers they seldom have the information you need to get to your destination. Taxi drivers often do not understand English. They often refuse driving long distances or take you to the ‘general destination’ only, which may be several kilometers away. Traffic jams are very common and taking a taxi can prove to be a costly and time-consuming exercise. Beijing’s extensive public transport system, including buses and subways, offers the most cost effective and efficient way to travel.
The “Beijing Complete public transport guide” has extensive information on Beijing’s public transport system - including details of over 22,000 bus and subway stations.
The guide has detailed information sorted by
* Time tables
* Bus & Subway routes
* A full list of bus stops, sorted in both English - Chinese and Chinese - English
* A full list of popular destinations (such as major tourist attractions, markets, museums, temples, universities, hospitals, parks) and how to get there using public transport.
* Most popular and highly appraised hostels
The guide includes both English and Chinese names and characters throughout. This will enable any non-English speaking Chinese to help you. Just point the right spot in the guide.
