A place for free e-books

[spursdude]

PocketRocketFX (http://www.pocketrocketfx.com/html/ebooks.htm) has a lot of classic e-books. It's where I got most of my collection.

I usually visit a certain IRC channel for source files, and then I make my own books with Readerworks Publisher. It's really fun to do.

http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/ebooks/ebooklist.html is another great place for classic ebooks :)

spursdude, thanks for the link! I didn't realize Tari had assembled such a great collection. :D Now even more ways to procrastinate work...

Don't forget the free Sci-Fi titles, in many formats, from Baen books. The URL is http://www.baen.com/library/titles.htm

Funny thing is, I've actually gone and bought books by the same authors simply because I got hooked on a series - probably enough to pay for what I downloaded, given the minimal cost of putting an already published book out in electronic format...

I really have to thank the authors at Baen who are supporting this...

You might want to remove the last dot on your URL there .... Nice site though.

Fixed the URL.

Great site ! I have read a couple of ebooks in the past (mostly freeware classics, only bought a couple) and the past half year I almost haven't read anything on my PPC. Last week I was watching the movie 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' and I kept thinking that the character of Dorian Gray was an interesting one, so I went to the PocketRocketFX site and guess what ... I found the book the character in the movie was based upon ! Off course I totally blame spursdude now for making me arrive late at work today (kept reading in bed until 3 am ;))

What's so hot about Gutenberg free etexts converted to .LIT? Mobipocket Reader (and ubook) will read in the native .TXT. :P

Seems like everybody and their kid sister is publishing a site full'a .LITs either redistributed from another site, or converted in the garage. <yawn>
