From the time i have joined i have seen people worried and tensed about getting some thing to read about film making. Well here is a simple solution by which you can get free E-books very easily.

Visit www.esnips.com make an id. And search by typing "Film making" or "Film Production" and "Script Writing"
When the result occur you will find an option saying all files. Click on that And you will have many PDF books. Start downloading them :)

Thanks

Don't you need a Kindle, or similar device, to read 'em?

well i couldnt understand what you mean? (English isnt my first language so kindly explain me a little)

Oh, nm. I see you said PDF files.

When you also said e-books, I thought you were talking about the software-books for Kindle (http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Generation/dp/B00154JDAI/)

its ok :)
These books are in PDF formate. just need to have acrobat reader and thats all.:)

Thanks ad2478 for the e-books! Anyone know if I can somehow get it on my iPhone 3G? Without the use of 3G and Wi-Fi itself cus i'm abroad so I can't use those features. But if there's someway I can import through USB, it'd be helpful!

Hmm, that esnips is a pretty interesting site. Just looked it up on Wiki: Esnips (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESnips)

You have any recommended docs that were worth reading? I did a search for "Film Making" and ending up with over 24 000 hits. I ain't got that much spare time. :)

I agree with zensteve. Care to link or recommend some good ones or anything good for beginners?

Well yes. When you click at all files in the bottom you will see different type of files. only click on the PDF format E-books. Dont downliad the word files etc. And when you will bring the cursor on those books they will show the names of books like Film production etc so you will have idea they are PDF books about film making. Click them and when the page opens It might say error. But ignore that and see at the bottom the word download. Download it and it will start working.:)

If you still find any issues reply me back

Or wait till tomorrow. I will post the links here. That will be much more easier.:)

Then wait, I shall.

check out the link. Just click on download even if the page says error.

The files come down as .EXE, so they are only available in a downloadable format for windows users.

knightly Sorry but i have no idea if someone is using any other operating system then how can he read the book. In my PC XP is installed so i downloaded Acrobat reader and the book and it opened easily. I am also trying to get any solution by which i can paste the text on my blog.so it might be more helpful.but really dont know how will it work.....:( does any one has the solution?

They don't work anymore.

thats surprising the day i posted the link i downlaod one of the books mentioned here.....well post ur hotmail id.i will try to give you people access to my space drive.....all books are available there

Looks interesting. I'll have to check it out.

Thanks for sharing.

barnaclelapse yes surely it is......i am surprised why it isn't working for other people........i just recently downloaded few e-books related to accounting for my academics and it is working fine.I will suggest every one to spend some time and try different words like Film making, independent film making etc but keep one thing in mind that you must click on all files and the actual PDF files will be in the bottom.
