I even have borrowing privileges from the Philadelphia Library. Fact is I do prefer to own and hate the burden of having to read within a specified period of time. I read more than one book at a time. I do not want the pressure of a 21 day limit. Free Phillie is at http://www.freelibrary.org/ I agree with Wayne, Pixel of Ink also is an excellent newsletter about free books. It covers ePubs and Kindle as does Books on the Knob. I have over 1500 books on my Kindle in subject areas I like. Very few cost me money, so it's a matter of reading those blogs each day. I do not use the Nook as much as the Kindle but it also is loaded with books and many came free or at minimal cost, $.99 is a popular figure for many independent authors. I like buying from smashwords and supporting them. It's a great website. http://www.smashwords.com I discovered Alice Duncan there. I love her books. Check her out.
