Imagine the biggest brick and mortar bookstore in a major city like New York or Los Angeles. Huge, huh? Now picture this. If Free-eBooks.net was an actual brick and mortar library or bookstore it would have to be at least 300 million square feet large in order to safely and comfortably hold all its customers at one time.<\/p>\n
Celebrating the 5,000,000 Mark<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s 150 times bigger than the Library of Congress and 200 times larger than the main building housing the Smithsonian Museum!<\/p>\n Why so big, you ask? Well, we are thrilled and proud to announce that this month the number of Free-eBooks.net members has surpassed the five million mark! Plus that milestone came fast on the heels of reaching and being \u201cliked\u201d by more than half a million Facebook fans!<\/p>\n The real credit goes to our supporters and members, and everyone at Free-eBooks.net is both grateful and humbled by the 5 million member achievement. We love our friends and fans from all over the globe, and consider them the most valuable players on our Free-eBooks.net team!<\/p>\n 16,000 VIP Members and Counting!<\/strong><\/p>\n Just to hold the nearly 1,800 VIP members that join each month would require a store almost as large as the largest bookstore listed in the Guinness Book of World Records \u2013 which is a 155,000-square foot Barnes and Noble in NYC.<\/p>\n So far this year more than 16,000 people have signed up for our VIP program, which affords them lots of extra perks and features for a very affordable low fee. That nominal membership charge goes to help cover the cost of constantly expanding our library and adding innovations like downloadable audio books and multiple languages.<\/p>\n Of course ordinary libraries don\u2019t stay open all the time the way Free-eBooks.net does, either.
