I collect ebooks from another IT site, Packt Publishing, they release one free book a day. Over the last few years I've collected over 400 ebooks and in many cases, also a Zip file containing code samples and misc stuff. Many of them are on IT topics that I have zero interest in, like 3D animation, but a friend was job hunting and mentioned that he was responding to an ad talking about a specific topic and I searched my archive for that topic and popped several books in to a share for him, he found it very helpful and now he's building up such an archive of his own.
Myself, I check them every morning while eating breakfast and reading web comics, then once a month I download everything that I've claimed. Last December they stopped offering freebies and instead put all their ebooks on sale for $5 and I was able to get a couple that I missed that I needed.
You never know what you, or a friend, might find handy.
