The Most Useful Websites [Kindle Edition]

Amit Agarwal (Author)

Book Description

There are some 175 million active websites on the Internet. Some of them like Google, Wikipedia, Dropbox or IMDB are extremely popular and you probably use them everyday.

There's another set of undiscovered websites that are also very useful but they aren't known to most people. Whether you want to record a movie of your computer screen or wish to print web pages more efficiently, there's a website out there that can easily solve your problem.

This book is a collection of 150 such lesser-known but incredibly useful websites that will enhance your productivity.

Here are some comments from people who bought the book:

Ludwig Flug (on Facebook) - I'm the one, who bought this. Every chapter has one theme, one or more links and a few sentences to explain the theme and the links. Among a few well-known I found a few interesting infos and a few very worthful pearls of internet-tools. I'm happy, that I bought this book. Look at the price. It's cheap.

Martin Lehmann (on Facebook) - Wow. The very first entry, Bounce, was the solution I've been looking for for over two years. Excited to keep reading.

Marie Boe (via Email) - I just got your ebook on Amazon.com for 3,99$. (I live in Montreal, Quebec). Very good info and easy to consult on Kindle as all the links work very well in the table of contents and for every site.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice group of websites for business. June 30, 2012

The web is so vast that it is nearly impossible to find some of the most useful sites, but somehow this book will point you to quite a few. It is a well formatted and easy to navigate little gem of a book that will have you saying why didn't I know about this site sooner? I downloaded the sample before I bought the book because I really had my doubts as to how good these links would be, but I was hooked and had to purchase it immediately. The author knows his stuff and these sites are not only useful, time saving, and easy to use; but some are entertaining and mostly every one was free (some had upgrade services). A superb purchase for business or even pleasure (if you are a bit on the geeky side). :) One of the best Kindle purchases I have made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful book February 28, 2012

I came across this book during one of my visits to Amit's Agarwarl's blog and am very happy I bought it. The book is short and well-written with lots of very useful websites. It provides the same insightful commentary that has characterised his blog. Finally, it was reassuring to find out that the book listed several websites that I already visit and lots more that I can now add to my toolbox.

I purchased this yesterday and looked it over last night. This is a great little book with lots of helpful information on different websites. I am a bit of an information hound and so this book is just the kind of thing I love. I like that there is a variety of websites to visit with different interests. I very much recommend this book. I also visited this author's blog and found it very helpful as well.

Thanks for this compilation of hard to discover good utility sites. Often time more than one sites does what you wanted to do, that's helpful. I loved everything especially the mockups, word clouds, draw your own cartoons, designing home and citebit.

I have been reading Amit's digital inspiration blog since 2006. Wanted to get my hands on this book, not having a Kindle stopped me, untill I discovered Kindle for PC!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for an eBook March 25, 2013

By Michael Denney

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Or whatever this was...it's a compendium of fairly nifty sites you may, or may not, have heard about. I was aware of around half of the things in this collection--but I work on PCs, so it was 'bound' to happen (even in an ebook!)
Oh--the puns--they do keep me typing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and worth it December 24, 2012

By Sandra

This book tells about all kinds of websites that take care of almost anything you need to do and the websites are free. There are sites for downloading clean programs, sending anonymous emails, or emails that let you know they've been read. Live video chats, video email, home design, brainstorming and mind mapping, book production, fonts, typing lessons. Even a whiteboard. Stuff you don't even know you want. I use this book all the time.

This is a brilliant compilation of websites. I actually refer to this book every couple of weeks because I think of something that I saw in it that I can use in my work. Hats off to the author and I hope to see more installments of useful websites in the future.
