Yeah gotta agree, spending time in here is going to be more beneficial...
but lets explain WHY these last comments have been anti-ebook! They're trying to do you a favor, not criticize you.(Btw, don't be shy about asking "noob questions"...this is how we learn, by asking questions and seeking answers

)
Ebooks are often used by marketers to get people to sign up for mailing lists - so they can continue to promote different products straight to your Inbox - or they are stuffed with affiliate links - so if you click through and purchase something, the "author" is profiting.
You will find some useful content in them. But generally, they are teasers...hyped up & targeted info designed to give you a little taste of what you can get if you become a member or buy whatever it is the ebook is promoting.
Compare that to learning from a forum where you can benefit from asking questions, hear both sides of the story, learn from other peoples mistakes and successes and get (fairly) unbiased reviews or info. There's no question.
Can I ask why you're looking for eBooks?? Is there something particular you want to know...or are you looking for something with PLR that you can stuff with your own affiliate links?
