My novels are not gratis in total, but about the first third of them can be read anytime on my website. That’s enough to know if they are anybody’s cup of tea.

My novels are not gratis in total, ...

Sorry TM, I never meant to imply that though I stupidly forgot to include a disclaimer to that effect since I was posting in a thread about FREE book sites. Whoops. Mea culpa.

Let me say here: Travis McGee is among the best if not the best (stroke, stroke) authors who are regulars on FR, and his "enemies" series are well worth the price.

Thanks urtax$@work.

I'm going to risk pinging this one, looks like something of interest to most.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

I would recommend FReople check their local library's web sites. Many of them offer free ebook downloads, audio books and free music downloads to various types of e-devices. >:3

Thanks. *Ping* for later reading (reading about reading has taken a back seat to reading what I’m reading currently).

I have a Kindle keyboard, but I use it more for games than reading.

I'm considering purchasing a Kindle, but I'm torn between the extremes of the basic model and the Fire. What is the major advantage/benefit you found for choosing the keyboard model?

My decision was made for me when i got an iPad for Christmas. I use the kindle app. I rarely need to type on it, and never in kindle. I like the ipad in that I don't have to turn on the lamp to read it -- I usually do, but I shut the light when my wife goes to sleep.

I haven't tried reading outside in sunlight yet because it's been too cold.

Also, those of you with Apple i-devices ... download the iTunes U app. Thousands of complete college courses, in so many categories, totally free.

I bought mine when the price went down, and before Fire was mentioned. I also don’t have wifi.

Btw, if you have a “random stuff SunkenCiv finds interesting” ping list, please add me to it.
