It doesnt look like they are free.
I think you need to delete this post. Since piracy is not allowed in Javaranch.

What piracy?

FYI, from the site:

The World eBook Fair welcomes you to absolutely free access to a variety of eBook unparalleled by any other source. 1/3 million eBooks await you for personal use, all free of charge for the month from July 4 - August 4, 2006, and then 1/2 million eBooks in 2007, 3/4 million in 2008, and ONE million in 2009.



I tried downloading a pdf and there were no restrictions.

I agree with Raghav Sam. There are no restrictions. I downloaded "The Time Machine" by H.G.Wells. No issues.

Good link.

If site allowed you to download, it doesnt mean it is not pirated.

Anyways, sorry for misunderstanding.
