Intro, kind of
Hi, I'm Daven. I'm an author of articles and short stories. I've recently started in on ebooks, but not the readers. See, I can't afford any of them. So I make do with the free ebooks on line and on bittorrent. I have to say that Project Guttenberg has been a life saver in a lot of ways.
I have nearly 10 GB of ebooks at this point. I read in .lit, .pdf, .doc, .txt right now. I've started converting some long .doc into .lit and .pdf, just to keep them "secure" and smaller in size.
All I have to read these on however is a laptop. I'm trying to see if I can get a text in such a format so I can read it on my phone, my non-Apple Samsung phone. I figure if I can read a message on there, I should be able to upload some texts and read it on my phone.
I'd love to have a Kindle or an iPhone so I could read regular texts on a reader, but right now that's not an option.
Anyhow, thanks for letting me blabber.
