Websites For Ebooks, Books, & Reading

Here are some listings for websites related to Ebooks, Books, & Reading that you may find useful.

BOOK DEPOSITORY – Book Depository is an international book seller shipping thousands of books every day from our fulfillment centers in Gloucester, United Kingdom, and Melbourne, Australia, to more than 130 countries across the world, displaying prices in 37 different local currencies. An interesting feature of this website is that they have a “book map” which shows ongoing purchases of books that people all over the world are buying. That could be used as a way of discovering your next book read. You can change the currency type for pricing in your country on the home page at the top. – [link]

HUNDRED ZEROS – Find free Kindle ebooks for your Amazon Kindle ebook reader, or at least that’s what the website says. I don’t know if this website is outdated, abandoned by it’s creator, or what is going on with it. It’s supposed to guide you to ebooks on Amazon that are currently free. However all the ebooks I checked WERE NOT FREE. At any rate, I decided that this website could possibly be a source of discovery for a next read, so I’m listing it for that reason. – [link]

ISSUU – Issuu empowers anyone, from independent creators to global brands, to transform static designs into high-performance content for every digital marketing channel. If you are not a publisher, Issuu can be a great place to discover and read some nice news & entertainment publications online for free. – [link]

SCRIBD – Scribd has been around since 2007 and as I remember, evolved from being a place similar to Issuu where anyone could create a publication and share it online through their platform, to becoming a “all in one” subscription service for books, audiobooks, magazines, podcasts, sheet music, and documents. – [link]

WATTPAD – The world’s most-loved social storytelling platform. Wattpad connects a global community of 90 million readers and writers through the power of story. – [link]

Featured Youtube Videos:

These are my most recent recommended videos on Youtube. I am listing this newest to oldest. In time, I will start building an archive of these listings. Those will be listed from oldest to newest (because that is how I’m listing them in my notes).

  • DONNA SUMMER “I FEEL LOVE” (2023 EXTENDED REVISIT MIX) – From this channel: [themotownboy1] – The original multitracks for IFL are presumed lost. When official remixes were done in 1995, the studio multitrack tape could not be found. For those remixes, the vocals were re-recorded. Here, through the marvel of today’s technology, the original lead and backing vocals are used. The rest of the backing track is a recreation of the original, with a couple of judicious short samples from the original. My intention was to keep the same feel and vibe of the original and NOT try to make it sound like a clone of 21st century EDM. I also took a little inspiration from the Patrick Cowley version. I hope you enjoy this new version and video! – [Watch On Youtube]

All Blog Tags:

Here is an organized list of all tags used in the blog. This section is experimental for awhile, and is not guaranteed to stay here permanently. I like the idea of having these listings to contrast the Top 100 Tags above, however over time, these lists could get extremely long. I will experiment for awhile to see how it goes, or maybe I’ll move these links to their own page at some point.

These are displayed in rotation, and are removed at the end of their queue.

Website Design Info:

WebZiine at Ziine.co is proudly powered by Wordpress, on the Twenty Twenty Three Theme. All of the customization you see in the layout is done by David Thrift, Ziine.co site owner. For those who are struggling with coming up with a great theme for your website, I can only urge you to take the time to learn the new Gutenburg system and how the blocks work within Full Site Editing.
