That's great! Thanks for the tip! I was just looking for Ringworld in ebook format, and couldn't find it.

I think of Ringworld as one of those novels everyone has read, and rightly so. But when I recently asked a class of students in an SF writing class at MIT who had read Ringworld, they all looked blank. Not one of them had read it. I was amazed, and a little appalled. Apparently it's a generational thing. I'll have to let them know about this. (Though they're in the throes of exams right now. I wonder how long this will be available.)
