Welcome to the Surf Report.
The internet is a great source for free books and literature,
legistlative and legal text, laws, reports and more. In this
edition of the SurfReport we point you to a great site for finding
free literature on the web plus how to use askSam to turn that
text into your own searchable eBook. And we even include a free
eBook template to get you started.
We also include a link to a free product to help you work with
text and HTML files (also a big help for creating eBooks). And a
free eBook - 15,000 Useful Phrases byt Greeville Kleiser.
Enjoy,

1) The Online Books Page - Find Free Books Online
The Online Books Page is a very useful search engine for free
books online, listing more than 25,000 free books on the web. You
can search for books by title, author, subjects and more. Or use
alphabetical listings to find titles by author or subject. It also
contains pointers to directories and archives of online texts and
specialty exhibits. Once you find a book you can download the
text, or HTML in some cases, to your computer.

2) How To Create An askSam eBook
Sites like The Online Book Page and others offer a great way to
find free text online. But what do you do with it? How do you
organize the information? How do you combine it with other
relevent text? How do you search it?
Create an askSam eBook.
An askSam eBook can consist of any collection of data - a single
book, multiple books to be searched together, legislative text,
research, and more.
Every eBook is different but we have written some steps to help
get you started creating your own eBook with askSam. We hope this
detailed description of how we created the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in
askSam is helpful.
