I would have thought anyone flogging e-books would have give-away e-readers (the Gillette principle :). However, there may well be many free e-books that don't need a specific reader (after all, I suspect the e-readers are built especially to preserve copyrite issues and similar). One place with a number of links to e-books (and I presume you want to read books rather than just collect programs? ;-) is the Queensland DPI e-Library at <http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/rerc/>. You'll find a link to "Online books" in the list of contents on the left hand side of the page. The blurb says: <quoting> On this page is our virtual reading room which includes access to thousands of free fiction and non-fiction titles. </quoting> Cheers, Phred. -- ppnerkDELETE@THISyahoo.com.INVALID
