Nine of Nine Part 3 of 3

Ebooks

This unlike the previous post is something I have actually heard of and use. Ebooks are great especially with portable reading devices. Although realistically if you don’t want to pay for them, you may have to resign yourself to reading mainly Classical well known titles like “Pride and Prejudice” and “The Iliad”. This is great if your anything like me and are planning on reading some Classic novels but not so good if you either;

A. Can’t stand them
B. Or have read it all already

Well then there is always Amazon and other a heap of other sites to buy popular titles from. I like a lot of people like reading from a book rather than a computer (much better experience) but there are pluses to Ebooks including it being better for the environment, better accessibility and cheaper.

Anyway I digress I did find some titles on Project Gutenberg which I wouldn’t mind reading (I guess I have to prove it with examples) like The adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Aesop’s fables. It is available in a variety of formats including HTML, txt, Plucker (never heard of this one), AVI, CSS, DVI, EPS, GIF and ISO. The variety of the formats is great gives options as to how to read it.
