Ebooks Stack Exchange is for ebook publishers and readers. The main focus is on the processes involved in publishing and/or consuming ebooks (and related tools), rather than on the content of ebooks. Shopping-style questions are also discouraged (e.g. Where can I find free ebooks about subject abc? or What ereader should I buy?).
Please look around to see if your question has been asked before. It’s also OK to ask and answer your own question.
