Anyone want to reccomend me some free ebooks to read? Or anything I don't have to pay for and can download to my iPod to read. I'm especially thinking of catching up on some English and/or American children's classics. Like Narnia. Is that still in the public domain?

How is that working out for you? Because I never downloaded anything to use as an iPod reader, since that constant wheel action was not nearly as easy as the page down on my Palm.

It's pretty good for things I need as a reference, like previous plotting etc. for stories and what I've already typed up of them. Still trying to find an ebook I'd be interested in to see how well it works as a reader in general.

Don't expect I'll ever prefer it over an actual book, but as a way to replace the printouts I used to have on me it works rather well.

Or, poke me. My hubby has something like 5000 of them downloaded, copyright or not. No joke. And being an anal geek, he also has a spreadsheet listing them.

OK, I just checked. He has 5,847. Things like all the Douglas Adams books, Louisa May Alcott, Jane Austen, Piers Anthony, Clive Barker, all the Oz books, oh, hell, pretty much bunches of everything ;) my email is < lisa at sparkles dot org >

I've already been poking at Gutenberg, hence the public domain question. ^_^

E-amil on its way!

OK, I guess you emailed me - but I had a big spam attack, and I may have deleted it? :(

Bad, bad Lisa! (that would be me ;))

Could you resend, maybe, with something in the subject like "Bubo here!" so I am sure to NOT delete it?? lisa @ sparklies . org
