Eric Ligman, Senior Sales Excellence Manager at Microsoft has uploaded a massive treasure trove of free Microsoft eBooks. Christmas has definitely arrived early.
And it’s not the first time Mr Lingman has done this. Last summer he uploaded a small collection of free Microsoft eBooks and was overwhelmed by the phenomenal response. Now he’s back, with a lot more.
These eBooks are completely free and, as Eric puts it – ‘are not time-bombed; there is no catch.’
Almost every eBook is available in EPUB, DOC and MOBI formats. From Kindle to Kobo, you’ll get complete E-reader compatibility.
Over 3.5million eBooks have been downloaded so far from Eric’s personal blog.
Here’s the full list of free eBooks with download links:
