Nice one :cool:

Most appreciated.:up:

I just had a look at the biography of a ditty entitled 1601, penned by my favorite author... Mark Twain.
It's a hilarious fireside conversation with the Tudors about crepitation.:haha:

Here's another great thank you.

Found some interesting books about the American Civil War. Books that I haven't heard of before.

Thank you! Another great site bookmarked. I've already seen many that I've long wanted to read, or reread, but never bothered simply because I didn't want to buy them.

Between Gutenburg and fullbooks, I have had to buy only one book for my E-reader. :yeah:

It is good to be cheap. :smug:

Sailor Steve 12-08-13 07:05 PM

The only e-reader I have is my computer. I'm merrily downloading a bunch of books I've always wanted to read once but didn't want to bother buying or going to the library for. :sunny:

If you have not thought of it, use a Kindle or Nook app on your pc. The options to set font size and formatting are really a pleasure on the eyes compared to the default text you would be reading otherwise.
(Nook app uses the EPUB format also available from libraries)
