I have just found a new resource- Internet Archive, thanks to this post on The Neglected Books Page. I’ve now acquired texts of the following books to add to my e-reader. Between this and the Gutenberg Library, I could easily spend hours browsing through titles and add tons more material to the kindle. Is this a good or a bad thing? Who knows when I’ll ever find time to get to the e-books again. I’ve even forgotten what’s on there at this point. They wait patiently for another travel day…
