What happened to coolerbooks?
I just found the website
coolerbooks.com a couple weeks ago. It was a site that had loads of free ebooks for download.
But now it seems to have been hijacked by some Microsoft search thing.
There was an
article last year claiming it teamed with Google (the anti-Microsoft!) to offer the million books available on
google books to become the biggest ebookstore. Great!
But now it seems to be gone. I googled for news and found none.
Anyone else hear anything?
