I wish to introduce a website where you can buy (with bitcoin of course among others) high quality ebook files (with no DRM) at prices that are 94 to 99.9% cheaper than Amazon The collection is now at over 3,200,000 ebooks If you can not (somehow) find the book you require you can place a request using Wishlist functionality and it will be posted eventually. p.s: There is also about 600,000 ebooks available for free too... Feedback etc appreciated.

It would've been better If you gave access to the ebooks first (I mean the ability to see them and search) instead of obliging the user to register first . I also want to know , since the price is almost 99% off , are those ebooks leaked or legitimately obtained ?

It used to but that way but it confused people since not many know what bitcoin is, use a disposable email for your privacy Site tells people to topup by small amount the first time like $1 so they figure out how it works. You can download from the free site without registration Tho the "cheap" collection is 5x larger and has Wishlist

How come there is no search function via genre, author name or book title? Do I really have to search for the isbn of the specific book first on google? And, generally how long does the wishlist work?(How long I'd have to wait?) Thank you.

There is a search by title and author its on the main page at top center once logged in below main menu and above "explore subjects" and "latest news" http://imgur.com/SGa5EIhWishes where the price is up to $50 on amazon in about 1-2 days 50-100 up to a week above 100$, month or more cheapest wishes are always done first, it costs nothing to make a wish, you are not obliged to buy what you wished for either. There is also a plugin for chrome (linked from main page), which tells you when you browse amazon if a book is available on ebooks.wtf or not (and links you to it)

Tagging for the future. Curious, though, I saw at the bottom of your image that some docs are tagged pdf and such, but one is "AZW." What does this stand for? Assuming it has something to do with Amazon but I think that's Mobi.

AZW is the file type developed by Amazon for their Kindle readers. I believe that you can typically convert it to epub for free online at different converters. Received trial credit from the OP to test it out! Q: Just refreshed the price on an ebook and it dropped from 49 cents to 20. Why do the prices fluctuate?
