EBooks FreeBooks

They keep TRYING to sell us on the idea of reading books from the screen but they have a way to go yet before there is a serious challenge to libraries. However, where else would you stumble across the US Federal Trade Commission's 2003 report into spam email and learn that
Ninety-six percent of spam concerning investment and business opportunities contained false “From”lines, “Subject” lines, or message text. Does that come as a surprise? And would you PAY for that information?
On the other hand, downloading onto your ipod or other device would be/could be immensely beneficial for the hard of reading.
Reading a book from your mobile phone screen though? Puleease! What donkey thought THAT would be a goer?

A REAL after life

Early days I guess for educational institutions but it would make remote learning much more attractive, may well in our case be of interest for the delivery of Adult Education classes and would be attractive I suspect to people with mobility problems.
