Do you guys know that not all ebooks have copyright and/or their authors allow sharing it? Some ebooks are even under "create commons" license or public domain. Why not allow those? What about linking to ebooks? Ebook doesn't necessarily have to be as a file.
 

Refer to the actual Forum rules

 

you have the author permission or are freely available

Then what if moderators consider these post contaning hidden advertisements?
 

"have the author permission" means a permition to distribute the book (like upload it here). Why would anyone consider advertising the sharing of an ebook?

I'm not sure I get the point of the hypothetical question.
 

I once posted such link to free ebooks for beginners and was warned for posting advertisments and breaking forum rules twice for the same posting.
 

Actually it wasn't a warning but a notification of the forum rules regarding advertisements, the reason was that it included a link to a website where they sell kits.
If the post contained only the ebook links or if the linked website wasn't selling products it wouldn't be a problem .
