There must be many ebooks out there for download for reading on the pocket pc... a good way to practise Chinese... but it seems it impossible to find them by searching in English.  So you have to already write and read very good Chinese to find them... a bit of a problem for a learner...

Anyone have any good links for ebooks?

I'm not an ardent violater of copyright laws, but I like ebooks when they defy censorship. Brazil's most famous singer (our Elvis Presley) got one unauthorized biography censored by the publisher himself, because the same company produces his albums and publishes the biography. A pdf of the book, however, made it on-line, becoming very popular.

ReadNovel is the site that I always go to. As John said, flagrant disregard for copyrights, but oh well. All in Chinese, of course, but if you can read any of the books on the site you should be able to navigate it.

There are actually lots of websites with Chinese e-book content. Most of it flagrantly violates copyrights, unfortunately...

I think maybe John B knows more about this...
