Free e-books from the Skopje Public Library

http://www.gbiblsk.edu.mk/index.asp?kat=1&det=5 

A brief but varied selection of Macedonian materials, freely available from the library.  The titles listed here are only available as downloads but are in pdf format and of very high quality.  The selection of titles included political science, poetry, information science among other disciplines.  There are links to two other full text sites on this page.  However, gutenberg.org is one of the sites and while it is possible to find Serbian and Croatian titles there, no Macedonian titles are returned on a language search.

Scribd is an excellent site with full text materials of all kinds.  The service is $8.99 per month on any device but your first month is free. There were a range of Macedonian materials available here. The site is described:

Scribd is the world’s largest social reading and publishing company. We've made it easy to share and discover entertaining, informative and original written content across the web and mobile devices. Our vision is to liberate the written word, to connect people with the information and ideas that matter most to them.

The compilers are very sensitive to the need for foreign language materials and the resources for some of the "Less Commonly Taught Languages" are sometimes more plentiful here than anywhere else on the web.  There are a number of language resources here including a Macedonian dictionary of idioms.
