Электронная библиотека “Либрус” ( http://librus.ru ) Научно-техническая библиотека электронных книг. Первоначально задуманная как хранилище компьютерной литературы, в настоящий момент библиотека содержит книжные издания по различным областям знания (медицинские науки, техника, гуманитарные науки, домашнее хозяйство, учебная литература и т.д.). Серьезность научно-технических e-book'ов разбавляет раздел развлекательной литературы (эротика, комиксы, задачи и головоломки). Основной целью проекта является ознакомление читателей с многообразием книгопечатной продукции и помощь в выборе действительно стоящей книги для приобретения у законных издателей, их представителей или в соответствующих организациях торговли. Для покупки через Internet мы рекомендуем воспользоваться услугами интернет-магазина “Озон”. ВНИМАНИЕ! Данный файл представлен исключительно в ознакомительных целях!
