EcoBrain is an online ebook store that offers thousands of titles from top publishers about sustainable, green living, home and garden, cooking and more. Since ebooks don’t use paper and ink to produce, or fuel to deliver, you’ll be saving yourself money while doing something positive for the environment.

What’s in it for you?

EcoBrain has a great selection of elementary, middle school and academic environmental science material like A Guide for using The Magic School Bus® Inside the Earth in the Classroom. Many of their ebooks would be a great resource for parents, teachers and homeschoolers.

Of course, they have cookbooks! One title that I’m considering downloading is A Fork in the Trail, a book of 208 lightweight, mouth-watering recipes to turn an ordinary backcountry trip into a gourmet adventure. I’m always freaked out about the over-processed junk that we bring camping “for convenience sake.” With recipes that you can cook and dehydrate before the trip or just add boiling water, it sounds like this book can help us do much better.

EcoBrain recently added some very cool titles like:

• Skinny Bitch
• Big Green Purse
• The Home Energy Diet: How to Save Money by Making Your House Energy-Smart
• The Compassionate Carnivore: Or, How to Keep Animals Happy, Save Old MacDonald’s Farm, Reduce Your Hoofprint, and Still Eat Meat

Check them out!

Downloading ebooks is easy with EcoBrain 

I tried the current free book. (It changes frequently.) I just clicked on the book title on the front page then clicked on “Free Download” button. The product automatically began downloading.

A window will pop up to ask if you want to save the file or open it. Choose to save the file to your desktop or in a folder on our hard drive. Some web browsers will be set to block pop-up windows or any downloads and you will have to manually override that setting to complete the download. The file is in PDF format, so you’ll need Adobe Reader to view it. (Adobe Reader is free.)

It was very easy to do and took very little time to download. (Download times will depend on your Internet connection speed.)
