You don't have to have an e-reader to read Kindle books - there's a free app for computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.
I am going to try and forget I ever learned this piece of info.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Same with Nook! Don't forget the Nook!

This page I made for Kindle users at work has direct links to the apps, Lendle for e-book sharing, and free e-book sites (Project Gutenburg, etc.) You could read free ebooks for 10 years and not run out of them. [link]

Because books.
So if I don't have a Kindle, I just use the web app for PC?

Yup!
I got the kindle app for my phone, but I admit I'm far more likely to read off the actual Kindle.
And damn, I just bought four Heyer novels. Woops!

That's awesome! Wow, I can think of a dozen free books I'd like through Gutenberg, too.

Somehow it hadn't occurred to me that all of E. Nesbit would be in the public domain. Also, I see that all of poor H. Beam Piper is available. He wasn't around to renew the copyright, and I suppose he had no heirs.

Wahhhh.... I too have the apps for my everything--PC, Mac, phone, tablet, but reading on the Nook is the best experience.. Points to them.

Awww, I'm pretty sure I'm the only other person here who knows that name, though DXM might.
