Ebooks again

I’m rather loving the ebook thing, even though my current read is a bit hard going, but book availability is still in its early days. Waterstones are the official partners of Sony in the UK and my first trawl around their site (pushed along by the £20 ebook voucher that I bought from them for £10 as a special offer when I bought the reader) found little to encourage me - a bunch of things available from Gutenberg, the entire Mills and Boon catalogue, a load of rubbish and a bunch of electronic... read more

Kes: The following announcement regarding a new source of free ebooks was posted to the IAFA list. Unfortunately, the site seems to be inaccessible, as I couldn't get tot he page that would let me register, or tot he page listing the authors. block quote start For those of you who have wondered if you'll ever see a new edition of DREAMSNAKE-if Ursula LeGuin is doing something new and radical you can't see anywhere else-if the internet age is going to revolutionize book reading, bookselling, and the...

Jane Eyre has officially entered my top 5 fave books of all time list. I downloaded the 51 volume Harvard Classics "five foot shelf" set. It's about 35 mbs (mobipocket format). The RL books would have cost about $3,500, and I'd have to track down secondhand copies. Doubtless the leather-bound tomes would look impressive in any library, however the logistics of it all boggles the mind.
