smashwords

over the years, i have amassed a considerable number of books - a collection of which i am very proud of. 
until i had my own laptop, i never expected nor dreamed of building an electronic library. the prospect of collecting ebooks was a daunting one.
nothing can definitely replace the feel, weight and smell of a paperback yet i also embrace the science and technology involved behind electronic books.
just like my forays into book stores, i found myself surfing the net looking for ebooks. one website i stumbled upon was Smashwords. here, one can find "new voices in all categories and genres of the written word."

with a lot of categories to choose from, there is surely one or two or more to satisfy a bibliophile's palate. all it takes is for a user to register with a valid and working email address.
users can read online. ebooks can be easily downloaded and are available in multiple formats  -  pdf, epub (open industry format), rtf, lrf (Sony Reader), pdb (Palm devices), mobi (Kindle) and plain text. 
some ebooks are offered for free. other publishers/resellers normally require a user to supply certain data in order to download a free ebook but at Smashwords, one can avail of it without giving out one's credit card or personal information.
users are encouraged to post comments or reviews about the ebooks they have read or purchased. and if a reader happens to be dreaming about becoming a writer, Smashwords provides a venue for publishing his/her work. 
visit Smashwords  yourself. i'm pretty positive you'll find something interesting to dip your head and sink your teeth into.

indulge!
