    Just launched my free ebooks website. There haven't been so many content yet. I am adding the content on a regular basis.

    Here it is: http://www.grabook.com

    Any feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It actually looks pretty good ! The layout seemed a little unsymmetrical but I think it works. You might use "ebooks" a little too much in the header...it's very repetitive (5 times), and you still have the Joomla favicon going, but overall I like it.

    Thanks for your review. Yeah, that's true. I just realize to use to many 'ebooks' there. Will fix it soon. I just have no idea how to replace the Joomla favicon with mine. Do you know how to do that?

    Yeah, kind in a rush on the way out, but just Google "Favicon Maker", or '...creator' or something to that effect and there are a few site where you can make one, and they give you step by step instructions.

    It's real easy, takes about 5 minutes.

    Promising. Here are a couple of suggestions:
    - Make the upper left banner clickable (i.e. clicking it takes you back to the homepage).
    - On the front page, you have 4 nice ebook covers. These too should be clickable (taking you to the ebook details).
    These are very simple fixes and should add to the usability of your site.

    In your logo, it should say in big letters "FREE Ebooks" I know you have that in the copy up top, but if it's part of the logo, it'll be all that much easier to spot.

    I am bookmarking the site, thanks!

    I just don't like "register first before download." Better find another site.

    Hi guys, thanks so much for supporting and giving valuable advice. Some changes are already made according to your inputs. I am still working on the others.
    @ global1843: great advice. I am making the logo and covers clickable.
    @ elliance: thanks. That's true. Still finding the way to do that (designing is not my hobby :))
    @ OliveTree: great point. Now you can download any free ebooks there without register yet. Just pick and download :D
