This guy essentially runs a free online public Library, where every book is a simple to read text file. His only provision is that you only take five every two weeks, which isn't bad because I don't know anyone who can read more than five full books in two weeks.
Damn there is some good stuff in there! I always wanted to get a cheap little electronic thing that just displays text files so I could read e-books anywhere, but I dunno where I could get one.

I think he means the ones that use electronic ink. It's a tablet pc sort of thing except it uses paper for a screen and electronic ink. It only uses electricity for changing pages. Not for displaying. Very cool invention. I heard that Sony makes them.
