The books I read on my Palm IIIxe were from Project Gutenberg. They were downloaded as .txt and converted to the Palm doc format with a PC freeware program.
Every morning, I downloaded the packaged highlights of several newspapers from advertising-supported
avantgo.com.
I also converted essays, found on the web, that were too long to conveniently read on my PC. Now I do it with
Send to Kindle for Chrome.
If the same title was available from our public library, I read the paper book.
Broadsheet newspapers are too big. PDA's are too small. A six inch reader is just right
