E-Books make it Easy...

Have you read an e-book yet?

In case you don't know what an e-book is, it is an electronic book - that is, it's a book that has been digitized into a file that can be read by a computer. Sometimes an e-book might only be available in certain formats (like for a Palm Pilot), in most cases these days though, once an e-book has been created from a regular book, several different formats are offered for download. And in a lot of cases, the books don't even HAVE to be downloaded, they can just be read online. There are hundreds of Web sites that offer e-books - most of the commercial sites require you to purchase their special equipment or software to read the e-books and/or they charge a fee for the download.

I've found two Web sites that I think could keep a person busy reading for a very long time and they would not have to spend any money whatsoever! The Gutenberg Project site offers around 20,000 free e-books. The University of Virginia Library offers over 2,100 free e-books for download and thousands more that can be read online with just your Web browser.

Happy reading!
