A couple of thoughts after reading through this interesting thread:

- Baen: They have electronic versions of many of their books available. (I got several Keith Laumer novels/short story collections for free!) Their site is a little complicated to navigate, but worth the effort. You can get entire CD's of books as bonuses to some of their "subscription" collections. Most of their books are in the 4-6 USD range and come in multiple, non-DRM formats (including RTF).

- The original Tom Swift stories are available on Gutenberg. (Not the Tom Swift Jr series, though.)

- Doug Coupland's first book (MicroSerfs) was an expanded version of a LONG article in an early issue of WIRED magazine. You can still download it from their website (make sure you select "Magazine" in the search box, not the Wired Online content). Still a great read.

I just read a review of The Family That Couldn't Sleep and was surprised (sorry Sony) to find it in the Connect store. Would have been nice if it was cheaper, but I figure I'm voting with my wallet for the format.

Cheers,
Bob
