All the free PDF guides you will ever need

Here’s a quick pointer to a rich trove of PDF guides covering all sorts of subjects related to contemporary technology, free for everyone to enjoy.

MakeUseOf.com is a community of like-minded geeks — of the cool breed — who dedicate their time to scouring the net and building an archive of links to useful sites, free software, music, movies, productivity tools, geeky fun, and lots more.

Best of all, the crew at MakeUseOf publish some beautifully written user guides to stuff that most people must do their own research to learn. There is definitely something for everyone in their archive of PDF guides; PC security, photography, blogging, Facebook, gaming, music, Linux, Windows, Mac, and the list goes on and on.

But wait, there’s more

It doesn’t end at MakeUseOf’s Facebook page. The official MakeUseOf.com website is a great place to explore all the geeky goodness that this relentless team serve up. I’m sure you’ll enjoy digging around the site’s pages, but here are some of my favorite hang-outs on MakeUseOf.com:

A big geeky heart

Recently Nitro PDF and MakeUseOf have teamed up to raise funds for the victims of the recent disasters that hit Japan. A bundle of 5 great pieces of software — Nitro PDF Professional among them — was made available for only $30. Yes, you read right, $30 for the 5 apps even if Nitro PDF Professional retails at $99.99 by itself.

Hurry up and head over to the MakeUseOf Charity Bundle page to grab yourself an amazing deal. 100% of the sales from the Charity Bundle will go to the Japanese Red Cross to help those who are in dire need of our assistance. Not only will you secure yourself an amazing deal, but you will also make a difference where it really counts.

The team at Nitro PDF Software would like to thank MakeUseOf and all those who helped for their generosity.
