E-books?

[Sim9]

Insane pointed me to an ebook a few weeks ago, and it was a good read. Anyone else know of any good ebooks online? I've been searching, and the bulk of them are really bad. :(

[Google]

And its part of national literacy week.

FREE public domain ebooks. You can search based on subject / author etc. Even if they are public domain only, there's still some great classics out there I'm sure you haven't read.
Gutenberg Project (http://promo.net/pg/) :ph34r:

Hey Sim... You know they have these books on "paper" right?

Yeah, it's one of those new fangled, CRAZY ideas those government types have been cooking up but I think it's really worth looking into. I mean... You can sit anywhere... Read, and take said 'book' with you anywhere you go! Most of these books are easily smaller than a laptop and the lessened strain from reading the print on a paper page as opposed to a monitor is a blessing from God it is... Boy howdy. I'll tell you what... These books on 'paper' are the wave of the future. Paperback, hardback... *Whistles* Crazy stuff, but I hear it's all the rage in Europe!

They invented ink which can display changing colors. IE: your paper could display colors / video / animation / multiple pages, saw it on slashdot.... almost like a LCD but on paper (with ink)

I hear that this trend spread to parts of Asia now. Pfff... its a fad.

[Zips]

And we're always the last to jump on the bandwagon...

*Shakes fist angrily*

[Sim9]

New fad eh? Just like computers? :P

[Sim9]

Excellent, I have copied Time Out of Time to my pda, for reading on my flight. Thanks for the suggestion vercon :D

[VerconSystems]

Damn it. guy's you caused another anti-think wave...

[Sim9]

Ironically, I ended up talking to the person next to me during the flight, so I didn't get to read yet. :lol:

Aww does Walrii feal rejected?

[Insane2757]

Sim? Talking to a woman? Zips, you have been affected by the anti-think wave.

[Zips]

Hey... I'm giving the guy the benefit of the doubt here... I mean it's highly unlikely, but you have to throw the guy a bone every once in a while.

[Insane2757]

I'm not giving my bone to Sim no matter HOW desperate he is. ERM.

[Insane2757]

By the way, I found that person:

Was "she" hot? .... Draw your own conclusion.

EDIT: I don't know how to say this line without making myself sound gay, so I'm erasing it.

Insane, your taste in porn / women is HORRIBLE.

Gee thanks Vercon :)

Just supports the idea that Insane and his bot Cyphrus "walk down the wrong side of the street" if it were.

lmao, !setinfo

[Sim9]

And returning to topic, if anyone has any more ebook links... post! :D

[Zips]

I hear Kazaa has a lot of good ebooks... *wink wink nudge nudge*

[Sim9]

Then the RIAA would come after me. Because by illegally downloading ebooks, I'm taking away from time that I could be illegally downloading music :P
