"New Digital Books Offer Better Readability" By Chris Barylick, Sunday, 23 April 2006 "Soon, they [subway riders] could be 'flipping through' an electronic book reader, a cross between a handheld flat-panel monitor and a real-life book or newspaper." The article is about new eBook readers, based on E Ink technology that Sony and iRex Technologies will be releasing soon. I'll quote the last two paragraphs: "But there's also a vast offering of free titles that have moved into public domain with the expiration of their copyrights. "For users looking to download free texts to an e-book reader, Project Gutenberg ( http://www.gutenberg.org/ ) is an Internet-based effort that has placed more than 17,000 public domain books online for download -- everything from the Bible and "Hamlet" to "Don Quixote" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."
