Break the monotony of lockdown: Checkout these free e-books sites

Not just this Covid-19 induced lockdown, anytime is actually good for reading books (or hearing books, now that audiobooks are also popular.) 

In these stressful times, many online platforms, bless them, have thrown open free their e-libraries for people to read or download select books. And these books cover a wide spectrum from education to entertainment to classics. 

So when you're stuck at home and looking to spend time away from OTT platforms, you can do well to check out some of these sites that offer free e-books.

Kindle and Google: The obvious places to start off would be the biggies: Amazon and Google. Both Kindle and Google Play have a variety of titles that you can read and keep yourself engaged for long. 

Audible: Amazon's audiobook platform, with plenty of offers on multiple languages, should be a must try for most of you if you are of the listening type.

Gutenberg Project: It has on its list around 60,000 titles that you can dive into for free. Books here are available in multiple languages. Being a literary archive project, you can donate to it if you feel like. 


More the merrier

PDF Books World: The books are, as you can guess by the name, are available in PDF format here. There is an excellent collection across genres and they are well indexed.

Many Books: One of the popular e-libraries, it has over 50,000 books that are up for grabs for free. Again, the genres are exhaustive.

Internet Archive: The American digital library has released the National Emergency Library in the wake of the pandemic, which has made 14 lakh e-books readily available for reading without membership.

Cambridge: The famous Cambridge University Press is now offering access to over 7,000 of its books that range from history to law to economics.

Listen & enjoy, too

Scribd: Scribd, the American e-book and audiobook platform that hosts tons of books and documents, is offering 30 days of free trial for its premium subscription.

Spotify: The audiobooks playlist on Spotify is free of cost. It has plenty of interesting options, and the premium category offers are without any ads.

Open Library: Run on voluntary donations, the Open Library offers plenty of books by big-ticket writers like J K Rowling, Stephen King. Certainly worth a try.

Springer: Springer Publishing, the journal and textbook publisher, has made over 400 ebook titles available for free download. The books run the gamut from social sciences to astrophysics.

So, happy reading!

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
