(ebook – PDF – Science)IMPORTANT NOTE (please paste this note on the top of all ebooks):Please use the following classifications in the names of ebooks thatyou input or currently have on your hard drive:1.) Ebooks are Adobe Acrobat PDF files or Tomeraider type only, do notname txt files ebooks, no matter how long your lines are.2.) In parenthesis within the name, type (ebook – Type - Class)3.) In the “Type” space put the format, either PDF or TOMERAIDER. Inthe “Class” space, put the classification of the book, classificationsare: Biography, Children, Fiction, Food, Games, Government, Health,Internet, Martial-Arts, Mathematics, Other, Programming, Reference,Religious, Science, Sci-Fi, Sex, and Software.This new standard is accepted by Fink Crew (who do most of theconversions from plain text to PDF) and MacWarez (One of the largestgroups currently scanning ebooks). It helps people searching for thesefiles to find them more easily.
