I learned about this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pookiegroupie. It doesn't look like a scam. And I know Rebekah is VERY careful about what she signs up or online.
Wowio is a website that lets you download eBooks from their library for free. the books are .pdf, so you can use free .pdf readers like Adobe Acrobat or Foxit's compact pdf reader. (NOTHING to buy!!) The selection is growing.
To sign up, you need to be a US citizen with one of these forms of proof, and over the age of 13:
* A non-anonymous e-mail address (no yahoo, hotmail, or gmail). A work or school e-mail should work fine, and they also accepted my @mymoneyblog.com e-mail.
* Credit card - will not be charged
* Scan of ID (Driver’s License or Student ID) - I’d probably avoid this. At least with the credit card you have built-in fraud protection.
* Friends and Family code - Each new member can “vouch” for 3 others who don’t want to or can’t do one of the above.
Their current promotion is, sign up ten people and get a free iPod Shuffle. Now, I don't really NEED one, as I have the lovely 30GB model, but it would make a nice gadget formelovechocolate -- she has a not-iPod 1GB object that is totally not compatible with my Mac, which makes things tougher. Also, they are JUST SO CUTE.
Signup takes about five minutes, including finding my debit card and putting in Rebekah's email address so she'd get the referral. I'm done! And I've already chosen my first book -- "The Yellow Wallpaper," a horror classic by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Full books take about a minute (with dsl) to download.
Sign up at www.wowio.com and reference my email address (rikibeth at gmail dot com) when you sign up. Then, enjoy. If you like what YOU see, then get 10 people to sign up.. you can get an iPod too!.
