Thing 14: E-Books

I got my fiancee a Kindle last Christmas and we really enjoy it. E-Books are great but not everybody likes to read long texts on a backlit screen. It seems like E-Book readers are going to be quite popular for the next few years, we'll see if it's just a fad or not.

For this activity I searched for the book Fight Club. I did not expect to find it for free because it's relatively new. A few of the databases had the book, but I could only see a few pages. I know, though, that if I had searched for a book like Plato's Republic I would have found many copies available in full text.

At least having all of these free ebooks is a perfect excuse to catch up on reading the classics.
