New Members mazhu86 Posted January 9, 2012 at 11:05 AM New Members Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 at 11:05 AM Hi everyone, I am an italian student (sorry for my poor english) who has been studying chinese for six years (and will for many, many years ahead). I think this forum is really interesting, and I'd like to ask you all for some help. I'd like to know from which websites the chineses like to buy and download e-books. I tought about amazon.cn, but I'd like to know if there is a native, more popular, website that the chinese prefear to download ebooks. One of my friend owns a publishing house, and he'd like to translate italian fantasy books in chinese, and sell them as ebooks on line, but we are not really sure about which website would be the best one to sell the ebooks. I appreciate any suggestion or help, thanks so much for reading my message! Have a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2010 Posted January 9, 2012 at 12:04 PM Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 at 12:04 PM Here is a newly opened online ebooks store. It's just an alternative. I'm not sure if Chinese like to download ebooks from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think many would prefer to pay ten or more dollars for an ebook when they can get a free copy somewhere on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluffy Posted January 10, 2012 at 04:36 PM Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 at 04:36 PM I agree with babaozhou. 百度文库，新浪爱问 and 豆丁网is free to download, but need virtual currency of the websites. And 当当网 maybe the best choice, people need to pay for the ebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members mazhu86 Posted January 16, 2012 at 01:47 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 at 01:47 PM Thank babazhou, I already knew that chineses like (and who doesn't?) to download free stuff whenever they can, and I already warned my friend about this; he wants to try it anyway, and after all, it's his choice, I am only trying to help him finding a good website. So please, I know you want to be useful and I really appreciate it, but posts about how to illegally download ebooks in China and about how much chineses like to do that aren't really what I was looking for. Said that, thanks anyway, I know you only tried to warn me and help me. Thank iamluffy,I also think Dangdang it's the best way to go, but I found other websites too...I don't know if there's anybody here who can help me to find the most used by chineses. eshuba.com enet.com.cn shukongcn.com book.douban.com thanks again and sorry again for my poor english.
