Repository To Store EBooks

Why don't we have the repository to store the ebooks (free) so that it will be very useful for the members to download and use them?

I suspect because it would get misused. Unless you are the author / publisher of the ebook, it's pretty difficult to know absolutely that the person posting it has all the copyright and suchlike permissions required to distribute it, let alone give it away. And let's face it: most of the ebooks available on the internet are pirate copies at best! This is not a piracy site: just look at how hard we work to prevent plagiarism in the moderated areas. Adding a forum that is likely to be abused almost immediately, and the validation / moderation that would be required? I can't see the Hamsters going for it...
You looking for sympathy? You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric (Page 1788, if it helps)

We're not a repository of other's eBooks - we're a site where members can share source code and tips. If an author wished to post their eBook as an article (or multipart article) then great!
