Gear Diary has written up an expose of MyPadMedia which looks at exactly what it does, which appears to be selling eBooks that are available for free. As is highlighted it is probably legal, but certainly not moral. The links you need are part one, part two and part three.
“We took on a shady eBook site, drama ensued, and this is the result. If you have a Kindle, an iPad or a nook, and you are used to paying for eBooks, then you can understand how a site like this could seem so appealing to the uninformed.
Judie purchased access to myPadMedia yesterday. After a few minutes of exploring the site, one thing became very clear: I owe myPadMedia a huge apology.
See, several weeks ago I mistakenly called myPadMedia a “scam”. This implied they were engaged in a business that doesn’t deliver books legally; as it turns out, that’s technically not true. If you purchase the $49.95 membership, you will have access to legal content, but the delivery process has basically been stolen from another site. So clearly I was mistaken, and as it turns out I was just one word off.
myPadMedia isn’t a scam at all.
myPadMedia is SCUM…”
