Gigapedia is as useful as Wikipedia
Imagine you want to buy a book, but it’s as expensive as a gold bar. You try to download its eBook version on internet but Google and all the PDF finders fail to get the result you want. I faced this problem before, but I have found the solution.
Last week my good colleague showed me a website called Gigapedia. He told me that I can download a lot of high quality eBooks from this site. It’s the place where he himself downloaded tons of engineering reference books. I just need to register, search for the book that I want, and go to the download link page to get the eBook (the eBooks are hosted on other file sharing platforms such as megaupload and rapidshare. Gigapedia provides only the links to the shared file).
I was amazed to find the book that I was seeking for months! It’s like a treasure chest dropping in front of me. Now I never look back and keep downloading good stuff from it. It’s my favorite source of knowledge other than Wikipedia.
Do you know other websites where we can download good stuff? Please share it here. Thanks.

Thanks for this, but I went to gigapedia and searched for “andragogy”. No results. Went to wikipedia and found a decent entry.

And what did you do with the decent entry you found from wikipedia? Download it? I don’t think so…..seems you’re missing the point of the topic……gigapedia is for finding links to books…..wikipedia is an encyclopedia
You are not downloading from the site! That’s illegal.

What’s illegal in your country might be legal in mine.
Of course it is not illegal in your country to steal. And last time I checked books are sold for far less that they are worth so this ‘goldbar’ theory is just an excuse to keep taking what is not yours.
I hope you get caught.
I like this site,too! I found a lot of useful books on it!
Well whatever anybody might say. I have been using gigapedia for the past 2+ years and it has been an academic lifeline. For those of us that live and work in the third world/developing countries what others take for granted could actually be unavailable to us books etc and I think one of the most painful things is limitations of ones mind and knowledge by virtue of where one was born or lives. Legal or illegal gigapedia has been a wonderful experience.
How do you know that the site is legally entitled to host these works for download?
please say how can i sea their books? i cant….
Gigapedia is awesome at least better than searching for ebooks on google !
Hey Chief, can you remove this blog post instead of sounding out to the whole world? When everybody and their dog finds out about sites like this, they get shut down. Do us all a favor.
The website is great. It is also NOT illegal. There are different users sharing their own books. I have benefitted a lot from this website. Moreover, had I not been able to download these books I would have never bought them and I could have never used such references.
