Does anyone else use Adobe Digital Editions to read ebooks without having to buy a Kindle?
I was just sent a link to a free Mrs Beeton Kindle book and was a little upset cos I don't have a Kindle.
Well I got a bit upset and then realised that most of these books are out of copyright and published by someone, not Amazon. So I followed the link to Gutenberg site. It doesn't do pdf files but I didn't want to give up.
A bit of reading later and I read about the Digital Edition software. It is free and takes about 1 minute to sign up to.
I now have 7 ebooks on my PC - all the old stuff you dream of finding copies of in a junk shop.
Anyhoo - just in case anyone else is interested I thought start a thread and see if anyone else has found any free ebook sites that have some good stuff on them.
I will happily collate the sites if anyone else is interested. It would be fun if we could add enough to get the thread made sticky
Free sites
http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/ which should read all of those ebooks that end in .epub
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/sear...ery=needlework the gutenberg page with needlework on it, there is lots more to look at!
