Read, search and save on 1000s of free books
The world of books is steadily moving online. More e-books are available every day. And new e-book readers are being released all the time.
Google Book is one of the larger repositories of digital books. It offers thousands of free e-books, along with previews of paid books. But, you may not want to use it online.
That's where the free GooReader can help. It lets you search and browse Google Books from your desktop. Once you find a book, you can read it.
The program is designed to look like a bookshelf. You can see book covers and information about the books. Books can be sorted and filtered. You can also create a downloadable PDF from a work.
Your security software may falsely flag GooReader as unsafe. The program is safe to run and use.

Keep your phone number safe online
Giving out your phone number online isn't very smart. You never know who could end up with it. At best you'll be getting more telemarketing calls.
Unfortunately, sometimes it's unavoidable. Selling items on Craigslist or eBay is a good example. You want buyers to be able to contact you.
That's where today's Cool Site comes in. It lets you hide your phone number behind a cryptic link. The link is what you share online.
If someone wants to call you, they click the link. The service then connects them to you anonymously. The caller never sees your phone number.
You don't need to start an account to create a link. But if you want to manage your links later, it's recommended. This lets you disconnect links when you're done with them. Creating an account is free.
