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!
