Hi everyone,

After years of thinking they were kind of expensive for a one-trick pony, I picked up a cheap refurbished reader. I've read 5 or 6 books on it so far and it's great! I don't see how I can go back to Jane Austen's Complete Works in paper form ever again.

This seems like a great forum. I hope I can get over the abbreviated title.

Denise

Welcome to MR, Denise.

You came to a great place for lots of information. MR has free ebooks that have been beautifully formatted by some very dedicated MR members. ePub format and Sony BBeB / lrf format

Free ebook sites.. feedbooks.com and manybooks.net and Project Gutenberg

Free and for purchase ebooks .. smashwords.com and baen.com Plus Baen has a free library

You can explore using Calibre to manage your library of DRM free books and Kovid, the creator, frequents the forums here. We even have a dedicated Calibre forum.

If you are looking for a book or just want to compare prices, try these book search engines for finding and comparing book prices.. AddAll, eBookPrice.Info, and Inkmesh

Have fun in the forums and ask if you have any questions.

Good to have your company, Denise. There are many here -- I'm one -- who prefer a single-function device with no distracting bells and whistles. I guess it's my one wee hangover from the paper books that used to hold my total attention over the previous half century of bookworming. We were discussing in another thread a couple of weeks ago the fact that reading devices have now been around just long enough for some of us to be known as 'old fashioned ebook lovers'. Best wishes. Neil

Thanks for the friendly welcome and all the links! I bumped into EPubBooks last night and got loaded up with a ton of Oz books and Dickens and Louisa May Alcott and ... oh, it was lovely! Originally, I had planned to loan my reader to my mother so she could see how she likes it. Now I'm not sure if I can be that generous.

GeneralJinjur,

Great to hear that you have obtained some books that appeal to you. Maybe you will have to buy your mother her own reader, otherwise you may not get yours back.
