Checkout this website, if you don't already know about it. It has free books for download, and covers all the e-platform electronic devices (i.e. Kindle, iPhone, other smartphones, etc..). But you can also download in PDF for those who don't use these devices and read it on your computer or print out.
What's great is covers all kinds of popular titles of oldies (books that have gone out of copyright like Jules Verne or Charles Dickens) as well as other books that newer authors have released to the public domain.
The really cool part is discovering authors/books you never knew existed....a good example is Elizabeth Nesbit (which you can find by checking out Authors or Subjects>Young Readers).
Or for those who have seen the movie ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") you can now read the Fitzgerald short story it was based on for free.
Definitely worth checking out for those who love to read.

A Book You Have To Read
The Nurture Assumption by Judith Rich Harris
At the end, agree or not, this, above any book I've ever read, I recommend. You simply have got to read this. Even if you don't have children, it's great insight into yourself and your peers.
When I first read it, it was like finally discovering the sociological/psychological/biological version of Einstein's Unified Theory. All I had studied and read in both fields finally came together and the discrepancies explained.
I would love for anyone that reads this blog, if anyone does, to read this book, come back and comment and let me know your thoughts.
