I'm trying to find a site where I can subscribe & read books (mostly fiction) online. Let me know if anyone knows a good site with large selections and fair price (I'll take free as well :eek:).

I'd love to hear your thoughts about digital books? I've seen them but never tried, hesitant to purchase one.

You mean a monthly subscription to access online books?

BUSINESS MODEL!!!


I can't think of one, I write all over my books anyway. (You should see the slander I wrote all over the margins of Huckleberry Finn about ol' Huck Fin's pa :D)

I was just researching the new Barnes & Noble Nook reader device (I think I'll get one today), and they have a storefront / app that allows you to download and read more books than one human could ever read. Powered by their database, AT&T (no subscription required), and google books (which provides most public domain books for free). I believe you can download their B&N book store / viewer for free for your laptop. You gotta look into it. I literally just read up on it today.

I hope you see this before you go:

I was not terribly impressed with the Nook after I went and checked it out. It's just not a very intuitive device (I mean to say that it could be a bit more user friendly, the interface is a handful). However, I am a fan of their PC reader and eBooks now. I have downloaded over 26 digital classic books for free, and a copy of Stephen King's On Writing for 6 bucks. Pretty awesome.

I think it better to forgo the digital readers until Apple's iPad forces some serious improvements via competition.
