Information should be free ???
Everyone has to read, someone else more, someone less, many just love to read and devote almost all of their free time to this activity, otherwise it can not be, we grew up in the most reading country in the world (if not lied) . Reading in the subway is out of fashion, online reading rooms are becoming more and more popular, I would like to talk about them
There are several types of libraries on the web:
1. The site provides free texts for reading online right on the site. These libraries are generally well structured, austere in terms of the functions provided (except for navigation and search mechanisms) and they specialize in non-core literature as a rule, preferring unlicensed and generally problematic materials from the point of view of law. The most famous of these is the Moshkov library in RuNet, in the west perhaps Project Gutenberg
2. The site provides books in the form of files for download. Such sites are usually involved in specialized specialized literature, books are provided in original formatting (scan without recognition or initially electronic version), user-friendly cataloging and a small number of books complement the picture, attracting an audience of experts and undecided. One of the leading sites in this niche is Natahaus
3. Thematic libraries and recognitions are such hybrids of the first two types, books as a rule can be read without downloading from the cash register. The bulk of such libraries are dedicated hood. literature and bright examples is FanLib or Aldebaran
4. Buy, work under the slogan “You do not go there, go here, pay money, get a book, read for health, brother!”. As a rule, they have in their assortment electronic versions of printed publications in all directions, differing from paper copies by price, while imposing a lot of restrictions, activations, etc.

All sites can be called libraries, come and read or take a book to read, but for some reason a sort of stigma has been fixed in the network, Mr. Moshkov and with him are the lights of all Russia, carrying culture to the masses, websites of the second category - fu, warez, its , sites of the third category are some kind of gray niche, from which not everything is clear, but to love them loudly is not accepted. Why? Isn't the essence of all three categories the provision of free books to network dwellers? Whether it is legal or not, this is not the case now, although it is clear to everyone that the Fourth Cohort is illegal at every convenient and not convenient case trying to kick the rest of the “market” participants, not avoiding any hitting of Google.
The book theme on the web is now VERY popular, Google itself has blended into it, promising to convert several million books into electronic form, there is an eBooks section on all sites that give something to download, and you can’t do without a book section on forums. Book sites in the network are like a shag fool, and only about 5 years ago books in runet in English were probably distributed only by Wzor , and now? We need medical books - take them away , you need books on design - as many as you like , in French too . Search for something specific, and Google only leads to Amazon, go search for book search engines: standalone or created on the basis of Google . In a word, there are no problems with the books now in the network and soon it will not be foreseen,
It remains only an open question, how long will the grace last? Soon will everyone be built and made to live by the rules, or will there be rules for books?
