What is the right approach to take?
Hello every one, I will love to know what is the best approach to take in obtaining books online.
I find it disturbing just googling a book online and downloading it without actually paying for it. I strongly believe that this is wrong and that i may not be able to unlock the key contents and message the book has to offer. Please correct me if i am wrong.

I know that these authors have invested years and time in learning and have decided to teach what they learnt the hard way to others through their books. I believe they need to be paid for their had work.

Now ill like to know if this is good or bad practice thanks.

Hi despiragado, I totally agree.

There are websites where you can pay a flat fee to read any book you want online.

I personally use O'Reilly's Safari books online service: Safari books online.

This gives me a sea of knowledge at the click of a mouse button and I think it is great. You can also read books offline through an app.

But there are probably others too..
