Book Burning

Installed Kindle for PC recently, mostly so we could read free crap in bed w/o purchasing a lengthy piece of cable.

Not terribly surprised, but there's a very good reason that free e-books are free.

Did you look at Project Gutenberg? Pretty much anything out of copyright that's major should be available.

You could always read the Bibble.

Yes indeed. Now we can dump Gutenberg & other stuff into the Kindle & lie down w/ our laptop to decompress through fiction from a long day of what passes for grim reality on the Internuts.

But the original reason we Kindled was free crap from Amazon, which looked interesting but turned out to be pretty lame; typos, consistent mis-spellings, & just sad-ass typing.

The Kindle did come w/ Aesop's Fables, Treasure Island, & Pride & Predjudice, none of which we've cracked yet.

We do hear there's some smut in that Bibble.
