Here's one I bet you would never find on your own:
I am an avid reader, and I love my Kindle. I think the Kindle is one of the greatest inventions of the last 25 years.
To get a huge library, you know, you don't have to buy books from Amazon.com or any other web site. Just go to Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg was started several decades ago, and has as its object putting up on the web where anyone anywhere in the world can access them, read them and copy them (and in some cases even listen to them), every book in the world that has an expired copyright.
It now has over 22,000 books available, and every month volunteers transcribe, proofread and add more. Most of the classics are here FREE.
And here's a sample, an amusing one I downloaded from Project Gutenberg some months ago, and just read in the last day or two: Edward Dyson's novel The Missing Link. This is an amusing romp written by an Australian writer about a rogue who commits all sort of nefarious acts and ends up impersonating "the missing link" in a sideshow circus that travels around from town to town in Australia. It isn't great literature. It is simply a good read.
More importantly, go to Project Gutenberg (ProjectGutenberg.com) and find thousands of books you'll want to read, all of them FREE !
