Thanks for the links to free ebooks. FYI, though, most books from Fictionwise are not free. They are usually reasonably priced … but not free.

Thanks for the info about Fictionwise Lillie.

Just surfed in, and now I am surfing out. Before I did, I just had to shout. Have you heard of a site that is more than alright. It’s called Free Book Quest, and you can put it to the test. Http://www.freebookquest.com
It can find a free book, so it deserves a look. I am not trying to be mean, just open it to your screen. Download a book or two, delete them when you are through. It is the greenest way to read, I hope these words you heed.
Also give grateware a chance (http://www.grateware.com), and lose that defensive stance. It’s a site about freeware, and it collects them without a care. They are all 100% free, so no police will you see. The authors gave them to the net, so just search for anything and you are set.

I don’t have a Kindle yet but I have been doing a lot of researching lately as I intend on getting one very soon. I thought I am thinking about holding out for the Kindle 3. Here are my thoughts:
The size of the screen you have now is great! – It fits perfectly into purses, carry on bags, etc – it is not bulky and is the reason people went to ereaders in the first place. Changing the screen to full size is not going to be great idea unless you are planning to make two versions, one full size with the new improvements and one with the current screen size and the new improvements.
Putting books into folders is a great idea especially for those of us who have to be organized! This is a must. Thanks for listening.
A color screen is also very good.
A Touch screen is great, however, I would recommend keeping the Qwerty keyboard and the scrolling keys on the side. Don’t get rid of features from Kindle2 that users loved.
Add a backlight that covers not only the edges of the screen but one that covers the entire reading area so that it can be used in dimly lit areas without disturbing others such as on airplanes.
SD card slot is a great expansion method that should be added.
Continue your wireless and your USB methods.
I am sincerely looking forward to hearing about the upcoming Kindle 3 to see how many of the innovations have been implemented. I am an avid reader and a tech geek so this gadget is perfect for me when the specs are right.
Thanks

HI it would be a better product if it had two display pages “replicating a real book. It would be possible to simulate a page turn also it would offer better reading continuity.

I know loads of students a bit annoyed that it’s still hard to find many sites or publishers that offer (proper) textbooks to use on an eReader…come on, its 2009, why are we still using those heavy things that go out of date by the time they go to and cost over a hundred bucks when I’ve got a brand new Kindle??
While I was Googling for “download textbooks” the other week I found the site http://www.bookboon.com I went on the site and found that they publish a huge range of textbooks – and every single textbook is made available to download free of charge! I downloaded a few in the pdf e-book format that they come in and they work perfectly on my Kindle DX
I also noticed that they have a facebook app, so you can also get all the textbooks for free from facebook, the link is http://apps.facebook.com/bookboon/

I just ordered one of the books but I was charged $9.99. How do I get these books for free? Is there a code?
January 24th, 2010 at 5:31 am
NOTE: The Amazon books are NO LONGER FREE!!!!!!! Kelly and I have both been charged $9.99 because this offer is a year old and has not been taken down. So while it looks like it’s free until February, it was free until February of LAST YEAR!!!!!
