I did a show today over at Leading Edge Technology that I thought I'd blog about as well. It's about a great site for getting your hands on free eBooks. Manybooks.net provides thousands of titles that are available for download. A little about Manybooks:
Hi, my name is Matthew McClintock, and I maintain manybooks.net as a service to the internet community at large. If you would like to contact me please use this form.
All of the eBooks from manybooks.net are free, however donations toward the maintenance of the site are welcome.
Many of the etexts are from the November, 2003 Project Gutenberg DVD, which contains the entire Project Gutenberg archives except for the Human Genome Project and audio eBooks, due to size limitations, and the Project Gutenberg of Australia eBooks, due to copyright. As of July 2004 most current PG texts are available here, usuallly within the week of release.
What I really like are the multiple formats available for download - PDF, eReader, Palm, iPod Notes and many more. Check it out and get reading! Would love to hear from you on other sources you may have found/used for getting eBooks as well.
MIP,
I am in the US and have seen a bunch of the USA network show us your character commercials. Looks like it will be a very fun program.

Hopefully you grabbed some good e-reading before you left.

Funnily, I tried to find some stuff and didn't find any content by my favorite authors. Not sure I was looking properly, but gave the site 2 minutes and when I found nothing of relevence, moved on.
:(
