Books I Have Read [6]

Just to clarify--these are electronic books that I have read on my trusty Handspring Pro. First I download them from gutenberg.org or some other online source (usually free/public domain), then I convert them to a "pdb" file (using "MakeDocDD 1.0.4b1") that can be loaded onto my PDA, then I read them with eReader Pro from Palm Digital Media. Works for me.

[Update--although I now have a Palm TX, I still do exactly the same thing for reading books]
