Starting Back Up!

Heyo guys! Ebooks here. As far as I know, I am the first one on scratch to make Ebooks as Scratch projects! I had quiet a few books on the site at one point, but then decided to delete them all. Now I'm back! You can request books that you would like, and even give me a book or story that you wrote!















For it to be legal, all books must have been written more then 100 years ago, or have been written by you!

Hey, welcome back! It's a great idea to publish eBooks, as long as it is legal.  big_smile

Correction: Books older then 95 years, as of now, are legal to copy. Books published after 1978 must be at least 70 years after the author has died, to be copied.

Re: Starting Back Up!

Cool idea! I've thought about it, but project space has always been a big issue for me. Do you plan to separate them by chapter and put them all in a gallery for one book?

Also, be careful with swear words. Plenty of books use them, so make sure you censor them or replace them. I personally liked 1984 (written in 42 =P).

Welcome Ebooks. I am quite interested in books so I will probably read some of your e-books.

How is S/he a bot? Ebooks isn't advertising any websites, rather just posting projects that are Ebooks. Looks fine to me. Then again, I'm not always right.
