Hello Fellow Editors:

I just joined up after being an avid reader of wikipedia for years. My primary interest is in E-books and all the new gadgets coming out to read them. After doing some searches and finding the well known projects, I also found companies using "free e-books" to lead people into e-books that cost money. My attitude is simple: If you can't read it for free, it does not exist.

On sort of a sour note, a friend called me and said that for arbitrary reasons an editor had deleted one of two ebooks on one of wikipedia's biographical articles. The reason was that it did not have an ISBN number. Well, after looking into it, I found that neither of these ebooks had good ISBN numbers. So, I emailed the author. He found that the registration with Browker failed. Now it is apparently fixed.

What troubled me is that the deleted book was Christian and the "saved" book was math. We don't need that kind of bias in this world. If I can get this cleaned up, I want to do more searches and compile a free e-book article or supplement articles that have already been written. Copyright and reliability issues need to be discussed, so I might also join or start a discussion on that subject here.

1. I need to look for a reference that basically says if you publish with a major publisher they ban dropping a free copy of the book on a website or a service. It's hard to understand why a wealthy person needs book revenue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.119.107.110 (talk) 14:12, 26 January 2011 (UTC) oops 38.119.107.110 (talk) 14:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC) oops again OoZeus (talk) 14:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
