OK, I like to read, and I guess people who are looking in this forum also like to read? Well, I'm going to post some sites for d/l them, and I'd like others to do the same. I dunno if this should be in the 'Secret' bit but I guess it will be moved if it should.
I'll start off with a couple of my favourite sites:
http://www.greylib.align.ru/libdetectiv.htm (although the headings are in Russian all the books are in English, as far as I can tell) If you click the headings as well as 'Detective' you have 'Action', 'Crime' & 'SF/Fantasy' as far as I can work out. They all seem to be complete Word documents. (includes The DaVinci Code & lots of other goodies).

http://www.victorianlondon.org/ If you like history you may like this, it has plenty of browsable sections.
If you enjoy the history you will also like this site; lot's of legally OK books to d/l, all old but plenty of interesting stuff http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books/new.html

Anyway, if anyone has any other sites along these lines why not post them?

Kinda off-topic but how does everyone read eBooks? Anyone got a reader or can suggest one apart from your standard palmpilot? Any other suggestions?

I find I can't stand reading books at my pc, it's not the same as being able to kick back on the couch or in bed.

Only the one story, but freaky:

Metamorphosis of the Prime Intellect (http://www.kuro5hin.org/prime-intellect/mopiidx.html)

I do read a good deal of ebooks, but normally just for gaming purposes or because i'm too lazy to walk to the bookstore down the street. I gotta say that i prefer reading hard copy better, and am currently reading four different ones.

My Recommendations:
Sword of Truth saga by Terry Goodkind
Belgariad & Malloreon by David Eddings
Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R. Donaldson

Dragonlance
--Chronicles by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
--Soulforge & Brothers in arms by Margaret Weis and Don Perrin
--Legends (Time War and Test of the twins) By Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
