Books to read.


Some very good classical ebook site that I stumbled onto on the net, some of Jack Londons' as well. A lot are in .htm files, i am downloading and saving for the future. I presume nearly all of us have laptops, so you can save them as well when paper books run out.

I heard that printed newspapers will no longer exist in 2020....everything will be available on your Ereader. This will stop people handing books around....no more 6 for $30 deals at Dymocks...

As long as the pictures are still put in it will be OK, Basil. The words get in the way sometimes.

Do you know if there are sites for other than Canadian authors, Joebee?

Hylda says i like my gadgets so of course I have an ebook reader, it's called a "Jetbook" & I highly recommend it. It's a bit smaller than a novel & skinnier, plus much better on the eyes than reading from a computer as it isn't lit like the comp, it has black writing on a grey background with variable font sizing & actually needs an external light source to read it, & it has a much smaller footprint in the caravan than the half dozen books Hylda has in the van. one charge lasts for 1 to 2 weeks of reading. I searched & downloaded over a thousand novels so have enough reading for a looooong time.
I still love collecting & reading normal books but when traveling its much more convenient.

I use a franklin ebookman ( I have 6 that I have scrounged up on the web)and a Palm TungstenE. With a large mmc card you can almost fit a library on them. Another site that you can get ebooks from is mIRC. If you want any more info on how just let me know and I will contact by email and not divulge on here.
