Thing 22

Net-library

Easy enough to make a new account for myself, but I don't find the site itself very useful (mostly because of the limited range of books), but also because it logs you out far too often, it is a little clunky to use and it uses pdf's which if you have dial-up is a real pain;

However you can search for your subject of interest within the e-book itself, there are a few very interesting books, and it is free to use...

For all that, I will probably still check out some of the books - mostly the cooking ones especially Holiday Cooking Around the Worldand Cooking the Chinese Way, and some of the travel ones could be good (Europe for Dummies sounds intriguing), however most of the fiction I can just access through Project Gutenberg already. And to access my favourite sort of fiction (scienc fiction anfd fantasy) I just head directly to my most favourite e-book website ever - Baen. Plus you can download in several different formats from these other sites or just read on your computer...

Here's one of my favourites from Baen -

Here is my favourite find on Net library - a recipe for Dead Bone Cookies (cool name and yummy recipe).

BTW: My Kindle rant- Who would really buy a dedicated e-book reader when you can get one that gives you as good quality in e-book reading but also has extra functionality including the capability to play games, use it as a mobile phone, go on the internet, and read & prepare documents, etc etc ... PDA's (like my Lifedrive), or Blackberry's... the list goes on.

Plus it charges you to access free content! As I am a bit of a spendthrift... not the one for me! I like free e-books - and there are plenty out there.
