I'm another Palm user, though I can't remember which one. I was going through my Gothic-novel phase, thanks to an enthousiastic teacher, and I wanted to read Shirley Jackson's novel but they were impossible to get (quickly). The year before a friend gave me the URL of Gutenberg and I gave it a try and did not only find Shirley Jackson's novels, but also many other classics, for free!

On my Sony 601 I first read a couple of freebies that you could download from the Sony website after purchasing their reader.
