New to E-reading

[FerraraZ]

I just bought a tablet PC and wanted to read some e-books. Does anyone else read books on their PC and if so how do you do it? I've heard that people just use PDF's.

Go to the Gutenburg project.

Project Gutenburg is great for free classics. If you like sci fi and fantasy, try the Baen Free Library. Baen publishing has gotten a whole bunch of their authors to publish some of their books for free. A lot of them are the first in series, to hook you and get you to buy the rest of them. Mobipocket is owned by Amazon, and is what the Kindle format is based off of, but can be read by a reader on the PC. It's not really a bargain though, they are about twice as expensive on there as the Kindle version off Amazon.

I use my iPod Touch with Stanza & get my books from torrents/newsgroups. Currently reading the Sword of Truth series this way & have done the same for the Harry Potter & Twilight series. Next I'll read the Dresden Files & then Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.

I read on my GPS/PDA using uBook reader.
