Free Science Fiction e Books
Check out this excerpt from Peter Watts' science fiction book, Starfish: 'A lot of it happened while he was sleeping. Every night they'd give him an injection, to help him learn, Scanlon said. Afterwards a machine beside his bed would feed him dreams. He could never exactly remember them but something must have stuck, because every morning he'd sit at the console with his tutor — a real person, though, not a program — and all the text and diagrams she showed him would be strangely familiar. Like he'd known it all years ago, and had just forgotten. Now he remembered everything: plate tectonics and subduction zones, Archimedes Principle, the thermal conductivity of two percent hydrox. Aldosterone. Alloplasty. He remembered his left lung after they cut it out ...'

2010-07-21 10:23:39 by AviatorI totally agree about format changes being costly. I can't tell you how many times I've replaced movies on Beta format tape, then VHS, and then transitioned to DVD. I will not be replacing them with Blue-Ray for the newer format, and will only buy a Blue-Ray machine when my present DVD player/recorder (with Divx) dies. And just having completed replacing my old CRT type television sets with flat panel sets, I will not be replacing them with 3D TV sets anytime soon.
On e-book lending, I understand you can do that, at least with some, though I have never tried. On the other hand, there are tons of e-books that you can get for free, courtest of places such as Gutenberg and many others
