Just discovered that manybooks.net now has kindle formated books available. If you have wondered what can I get to try my kindle out with that won’t cost me anything, search no longer. Many (Ha, that’s part of their name) of the books I read when I was younger and would consider great books for your own library are available at the site. I downloaded Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe and although it has about 7 pages of pretext explaining that the text came from the Gutenbug project and how you can contribute if you want to there is a coverpage picture and the text is all there. So in my mind score one for FREE.

There is a large number of books at manybooks.net that I wouldn’t bother with but I plan on grabbing many of the classics that I haven’t read or haven’t read since I was much younger. “Frankenstien” by Mary Shelly or Bram Stokers “Dracula” were a few that I have never read the book but have obviously seen ton of retread movies related to them. One I do want to get is Treasure Island and Gulliver’s Travels that I haven’t read since I was 10, but there are really too many to list here. A large number of Shakespere’s works, Poe, well far more than I had expected. So Kudos to ManyBooks.net for hopping on the bandwagon early and getting their collection converted so quickly, go check it out, I can’t image you won’t find at least one book you’ll download.
