As of 10:33 pm CST, I got version 1 of my e-books page to work. It's a collection of 80 books, including some very recent publications. All of it is legal. It is, mostly, Science Fiction and Fantasy. Authors include: David Drake, John Ringo, Eric Flint and others. All of it is published by Baen Books.

Link to the books: Books (http://65.69.62.225:8080/books.html)

"Mission Statement" off the Baen website, by Eric Flint. (http://www.baen.com/library/home.htm)

Baen Website (http://www.baen.com/)

Sooner or later, I'll make books available in other formats, like RTF, HTML, etc.. but that will take time.. since I need to find the CDs for that.

My website is usually up from 7:00 AM to 11:00 pm CST on weekdays, and all the weekend, due to VERY loud Power Supply and CPU fans.. untill I finally descide to move it to another room.

Microsoft Reader. One of a few MS programs I like. Customizable, easy to read and transferable to Pocket PC. Also, has advantage of fairly small file sizes compared to equivilent in Word.

There are some updates: A bunch of books have been sorted by Author and Series.

Great way to pass time at work and school.. I know, that's how I passed time in some classes...

I guess I will convert the ones I want to Palm PDF since I use ancient palm technology for reading ebooks.

I didn't have them in PDF in the first place. I can try to find TXT, RTF, and HTML format. Tell me the books that you want and I'll look
