free books. i haven't really checked it out too much yet, but i had dinner the other night with an editor here. i'm not so much sold on reading on my computer, but the woman who i met was downloading a chapter a day of moby dick to her iphone, which sounds like something i could get into. a chapter here and there while waiting in line somewhere or on the subway, in a taxi. i never thought reading books on anything other than paper would appeal to me, but since i am getting used to being online and emailing on my phone, it is becoming something i'm willing to think about.
I've been downloading out of copyright classics (limited selection but a few gems) from googlebooks for awhile. I have about a hundred stored on my computer. They are photocopies of original books which I read as PDF files. I've read quite a bit this way. The original old school fonts make it barely noticeable that you're not reading paper. Thanks for the free book link. I am a big fan of free books.
