Your summer reading project

OK, ambitious readers, boy do I have a project for you. Free books! Thousands of them. Better than the vast majority of what's written today. The classics.

Here are your steps:

  • If you don't have a Kindle, go to Amazon and get the Kindle for PC or Kindle for Mac FREE software.
  • Access the "magic catalog" of Project Gutenberg ebooks formatted for Kindle. Use the MOBI edition for Kindle for PC.
  • Open the catalog in your Kindle for PC application, browse thousands, tens of thousands, of titles and download to your heart's content, freely of course.
  • Start reading.

I'm engaging this project myself. I like the Kindle for PC a lot but see no need to get a Kindle. The netbook is small and easy to take with me.
