So apparently there's this site called "Wowio" where you can download tons of free books and comics. Free. Check this out: http://www.wowio.com/users/comicshome.asp

Am I the only one who doesn't see how this is possible? These books look REALLY GOOD, but how are the creators paid? It doesn't make any sense!

Anyway I just thought I'd post this in case you guys wanna get some free comics of professional quality.

Yeah, but I'd say this belongs in the comics section... Comics are art and the writing is literature, but we do have an area for comics ;)

That's what I thought, but the "About" page says they are.

WOWIO
WOWIO opened on the World Wide Web in August 2006 endeavoring to dramatically expand access to important written works by eliminating the economic, geographic, and logistical barriers of readers while also ensuring that content owners are fairly compensated.

WOWIO is today the only source where readers can legally download high-quality copyrighted ebooks from leading publishers for free. Readers have access to a wide range of offerings, including works of classic literature, college textbooks, comic books, and popular fiction and non-fiction titles.


I wonder how the creators are compensated. As long as they are, very cool.

I think this was started up by Google. Anyways they seem legit and have a good amount of financial backing. The guy who creates "The Dreamland Chronicles" said that they offer a program where if you get 10 people to sign up they send you a free I-Pod Shuffle. He did, and they sent him one.

By the way I originally posted this in the Literature section because this site also has college text books, novels, etc. on it.

Hm, what's considered a "non-anonymous email address"? That option is the only one I would even consider using to sign up as I'm not about to scan in my license or give them my credit card number..
