kindleI’m confident everyone out there in Internetville is enjoying Read an eBook Week, but for those of you reading my blog instead, here’s some links to a few good free ebooks.

KindleFormatting.com
This site has links this week to 28 fiction and non-fiction titles in Mobipocket format, which will work in a number of readers including the Amazon Kindle.

Suvudu
Random House’s sci-fi blog Suvudu’s Free Book Library has five titles available right now, with links to official titles in Kindle format, Sony eReader format, Adobe format (from scribd.com) and Stanza for iPhone.

Project Gutenberg (and other Public Domain book sites)
Don’t forget there are also a ton of good books with expired copyrights that are available for free.  Project Gutenberg alone has over 27,000 free books in .txt format.  Related sites like FreeKindleBooks.org have converted the Project Gutenberg titles into .mobi and .prc files.  Even Amazon itself will “sell” you public domain books you can send directly to your $0.00, like Treasure Island, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and even the Holy Bible!

 
Enough books to be Henry Bemis (before the unfortunate accident).  Start reading!

    Hi!
    I read a lot great stuff on Wikisource.
    I have an OLPC laptop and I’m living right next door to homelessness in Vancouver BC. Thank god for this little gem.
    I will lose my cell phone sooner rather than later.
    The internet is literally saving my life.
    Wikisource has been a boon in a lot of solitary nights and days.

    I am 53 and I have not missed a day that included reading except that I was unconscious, delirious or in love.
    I embraced reading and I quickly recognised that it expanded my personal sense of cosmos by orders of magnitude until it became apparent to me that knowledge alienated me.
    We are all starngers in the strange land.
    I comment at length because I sensed that you too are eager to pass a torch.
    In Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson he has a book that evolves with a child to help it blossom. It is a nano future technology that I felt was nearer than many of us can imagine.
    Happy reading!
