Zi5 Books- Website for Chinese PDF and Kindle downloads

SkritterJake   December 16th, 2011 4:59a.m.

大家好,
I just wanted to share a website that I found randomly a few days ago. It has a great selection of Chinese and English titles (translated of course). The site is all in Chinese, but it is pretty easy to navigate. Most of the downloads are in PDF and Kindle versions.

One of the highlights for me was finding Ender's Game, which I've been trying to get my hands on for a few years now. I've already finished about 100 pages or so of the Chinese version. The translation isn't great (and it seems censored), but I'll live.

Anyways, here is the link:

This is pretty nice. Just wish sites would have traditional options. I always have to google translate it... translating things between languages seem counter-intuitive, haha.

This is great--I've loaded up on some books for my trip.

Here's a question: how can I find an excellent, modern Chinese novel which does not have an English translation? I'm sure there are some on that list, but I'm not sure how best to filter.
