Can't you get free ones on google books? They might be only old books though...not sure the HCP is looking for classics.
 
We've downloaded hundreds of free books. We just did a google search for free ebooks and there are many good websites.

You're in San Diego right? New books here - http://sdcl.lib.overdrive.com/E2991176-FF7B-4AB1-9B59-EBF427438175/10/50/en/Default.htm

Yeah, I've been meaning to check that out. The SD library website is MUCH better than it was a couple of years ago. They must have done a lot of work once eReaders got more popular. The whole reason we got a nook over a kindle was that it can read epub files so it's kind of funny we've never taken advantage of it.

Thanks for the link. I'll look through it today. In general, how do those work? Is there a limit on the titles you can have downloaded? Or is there a time limit? I figure you can't just download every new book for free.

WTF? Do you like people stealing your property? Of course not. I write books. That you think stealing my books, my intellectual property, is acceptable just because technology makes is possible, is just plain wrong, aside from illegal.

HCP - how would you like it if I tapped into your bank account and took your paycheck? It's the exact same thing.

I have never torrented a book in my life, I buy physical copies only. I was just giving the information that was asked for.

Is it any different if someone just goes and reads it from the library, and doesn't buy your book?

If your wife likes fantasy sc/fi try:

Baen Ebooks

There are a lot of good free books. The authors feel if you like one of their books you wil turn around and buy from them.
 
there are book sections on kat.ph (kickasstorrents) I (ahem) know someone who has used it, and has had good experiences.
 
Unless you're a person who both travels and reads a lot, I don't see why you'd get an e-book. Real books are so much nicer.
