Belatucadrus Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Baen Books is now making available — for free — a number of its titles in electronic format. We're calling it the Baen Free Library. Anyone who wishes can read these titles online — no conditions, no strings attached. (Later we may ask for an extremely simple, name & email only, registration. ) Or, if you prefer, you can download the books in one of several formats. Again, with no conditions or strings attached. (URLs to sites which offer the readers for these format are also listed. )Mainly Sci Fi with some fantasy offerings, well worth a look for anybody who can handle screen reading. I'm using Kindle for PC and with an average size of 400Kb for the zipped kindle files it's even viable on an old dial up link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artist Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Not my thing -sci fi or fantasy. What about something bloody? I like a good crime novel. I don't mind travel, biography or trashy 'rags to riches' yarns.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Give http://librivox.org/ a try for classic titles read aloud to you. Files are in MP3 format and fully downloadable.This is a volunteer organisation aiming to record every out of copyright book available.Some of the work is of exceptionally good standard (some not so good, however). It's free and well worth having a look at/listen to.(One of the readers is a good friend of mine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Another collection of free e-books this time from Feedbooks, somewhat older than the Baen collection, but much more varied selection including assorted crime classics.
