Books freely available on-line
Project Gutenberg’s Top 100 books. There’s a lot of good stuff there.
Daniel Pinkwater is serializing his new novel, The Neddiad — the first chapter is up now, and there’s to be a new chapter posted each Tuesday starting August 1.
There are several new ebook readers here or forthcoming: the iRex Iliad, the Sony Reader, the Hanlin V2. Every so often I check out MobileRead Networks for the news on them.
The e-book reader industry currently seems to believe they’ll live or die based on the availability of current books in DRM formats. My biggest interest in one would be to have a better way to read the things already available digitally. (I’ve got no interest in paying the same or close to the same price for a current e-book as I would for the physical book, a clue I hope they acquire at some point.)
