Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

With all the brouhaha about Kindle, I'm slowly edging my way toward e-books. ManyBooks has a slew of out of copyright titles (i.e., old) that you can download in html and pdf among other format or transfer to a Sony Reader. There's some real gems like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Art of War.

Right now, I'm happy as a bug with the audiobooks available through Overdrive at the Long Beach Public Library website. Every title can be downloaded to an MP3 player and some can be burned to discs or even transferred to an iPod. There are classics but also a ton of recent bestsellers. I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and about to start on The Life of Pi. It makes driving and housework so much more interesting
