Free Sci-Fi eBooks — Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause

I've been reading ebooks on my Palm Zire 31 for a year and a bit...but not thought about listing the resources I use. Well, here's the first step -- and I didn't have to do much of the work either thanks to this great link from David Dean. He lists five, I've grabbed three, but check out the comments on his post...even more great resources there.

  1. Baen Free Library - free - here you can get 80+ free full length books. This is intended to get
    you hooked so you'll start paying by the month (see number 4).
  2. Cory Doctorow - free - Cory has released all his recent stories and novels under Creative Commons
    licenses so you can download away. However, Cory is probably even more useful because he finds out when other authors do similar and lets everyone know through his blogging at Boing Boing, so keep an eye there.
  3. Strange Horizons - no cost - a weekly web-based magazine of and about speculative fiction. Every week they have more fiction available, as well as articles, reviews, poetry and art. They don't seem to have any syndication feeds, so I created one here.

Don’t for­get the other form of free books — such as free draws. :)

Andre: your mileage may vary, but some are plain text, oth­ers are in a vari­ety of file­types that may be sup­por­ted by your device.

Brian: Cool! I wasn’t aware of that site..thanks for the pointer!
