Even MORE book stuff

More booksites that I am still checking out (in alphabetical order):

http://bookins.com/ - a bookswap site "Every book you get is $4.49 regardless of weight"

http://www.booksfree.com/ - "Paperback and audiobook rental service...starting at $9.99 a month" On one of the goodreads.com discussion groups somebody described this site as functioning "like Netflix for books"

http://www.bookswim.com/ - bills itself as "the first online BOOK RENTAL LIBRARY CLUB lending you paperbacks and hardcovers directly to your house WITHOUT THE NEED TO PURCHASE!" but their website is still in beta testing and they only claim 150,000 books

http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/ebooks/ - "Free ebook Library for the Microsoft Reader and palm"

http://books.google.com/books?hl=en - Google has this in beta testing. Every time you refresh it randomizes a new selection of books. I like it and i haven't even really used it yet. (i could spend way too much time just surfing book titles)

http://www.mobipocket.com/ - ebooks - "39,000+ Premium titles, 10,000 free ebooks" and other cool stuff. I spent a little while scanning the free titles and while most of what i saw could be subtitled "If you're having trouble sleeping, read this" there is bound to be some good stuff in there. Wait there's "Treasure Island", "The Life of Buffalo Bill Cody", "Robin Hood", "Last of the Mohicans", "Pride and Prejudice", "The Raven" and hmm - Filosofia Fundamental, Volumen III. As yet i don't have anything that handles "mobi' files and i'm still not ready to spring for a Palm Pilot but this would go a long way toward giving me an excuse....

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page - Project Gutenberg "The first producer of free ebooks"

Of course I have to mention the one book club that I have come closest to joining (on several occasions, in fact) http://www.conservativebookclub.com/ -

"Get 3 books for $1 each"

"1000's of conservative titles"


i might join just to get this book :-)
