I found UP2U (site already down) through del.icio.us and I’ve been hooked. UP2U lists a lot of e-magazines and e-books in PDF format for download. It’s a site you’d know won’t last long because I’m sure, pretty soon publishers of the magazines listed there would be ganging up on it.
UP2U offers The New York Times e-paper, Time, Fortune, eWeek, PC Magazine, PC World, Macworld, Vanity Fair, National Geographic, The Wall Street Journal, Science for download. It also offers a lot of adult e-magazines, from FHM to Playboy to Penthouse and even Private.
It recently placed prominent notices in its site and even in the PDF files that the magazines were meant for “borrowing” and you’re supposed to delete the files after 24 hours and buy the original publication if you like it. Yeah, right.

Is it just me or the site is too slow? I must admit, I then checked the most downloaded section and guess what? Nah, nevermind.

Oooh! Thanks for sharing the link. This is neat. I have been looking for stuff to read.
Let me share with you one of the interesting sites I have been checking out since college: firstmonday.org
There are interesting articles on information science, the internet and open source. Libraries are also part of the studies they have.
