for (ii) the books, i find bookfi.org pretty nice for starters: http://bookfi.org/#searchForm (not a web search. but they seem to have a lot of books on their servers. if anyone can figure out what their angle is, i'd be happy to be enlightened.)
hm. since this is apropos de-googling, it is probably worth mentioning that bookfi is crawling with advertising (or so i hear). i use lynx to browse for the books i want, and then examine the page source of the web page featuring each book to locate the actual media file. so although the ads aren't really a concern for me, depending on how you access the site, they might be for you. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
