For kindle and ebook owners

[Who's Wee Dug]

Do you have a Kindle Dotsie :

 

[Dotsie]

I have a Kobo, and the Kindle app on my iPad.

 

[CrysaniaMajere]

It is awz / mobi format for Kindles, but if you put it through Calibre you con convert to epub or other formats to read on your ereader.

thanks

Free ebooks

Another good source of free ebooks is manybooks.net, particularly for more recent stuff.
You need to check your local copyright rules, though: much of the stuff on there is public domain under US law (x years since publication, copyright not renewed), but will still be under copyright under life +70 and life + 50 regimes.

If you are under one of those, I'd suggest googling the author to check.

They also have a good deal of Creative Commons work - free to read and share, as long as you're not trying to make money out of someone else's work.

Thanks for the tip, Dug! I've downloaded a few of these freebies to my laptop. I might even get around to reading them one day.

For anyone with a kindle or an other make of e-reader, instead of paying mega bucks for a light if you want to read in the dark, I found this in poundland for a £ and it works just great.

 

[Tonyblack]

How much was it, Dug?

 

[chris.ph]

damn tony beat me to it

 

[Dotsie]

Surely it also works with paper books?

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

No Dotsie it's only the 99 pence one that does that this is the luxury version cause it costs A POUND.

 

[Dotsie]

Ah!

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I got one of them (from Amazon) for me Kindle when the reading light in my bedroom when futt, and I now use it with paperbacks (yes, I still read them, Pip!), just clip the light to a wadge of the back pages.

 

[chris.ph]

i didnt like the light spread on a paper book so i just use my light on the kindle

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I know what you mean, but my only alternative (until I get off my arse and order a new reading lamp) is to have the main light on, which is not ideal if you start nodding off - you have to get out of bed to turn off the light, and then you're wide awake again!!
