This isn't a legal opinion, but personally I figure if I paid for it once I don't mind finding an illegal copy to use.

If you have or know someone with a x5 install disk there is alot of very good free books on there for MS Reader. I gave mine to my sister inlaw and did not remember to copy the lit file before.

I just downloaded the Earthbound series, by D M Arnold. I found the site by accident, but they look wicked interesting...

There are 5 books. They come in multiple formats. You can download ebooks or read them online for free, or order hard copies for like 15 bucks.

You can get the 5 books here.

I haven't read any yet, but like i said, they look good...

There are a lot of books out there, and I do go through a lot

Most of my previous ones were in text, but now I've got a PDA with a .lit reader I'm using that.

Eventually I'll want for more, but i've a few hundred in reserve first

Thank you ALL SO MUCH for the links for the various sites of software and books Pat yourselves on your backs!!!!

How many of you have actually read a whole book on your PPC? I only use the dictionary and nothing else. Don't you find it hard to stare at the small screen hours at a time. I personally would pick public library any day.

I have read dozens, probably over a hundred. Really long books, like Anna Karena and other long russian novels as well as normal lenght books. I don't have a problem with the screen. I actually prefer it in many ways.

I use it only for reading email attachments. There are much better book formats. My biggest complaint is that there is a hard page break which is inconvenient.

I have read over two hundred ebooks on my X50v and have no problem at all. I have come to prefer it and become irritated when I have to read a paper book.

I read, on an average, a minimum of one book a week on my X5. At the present time I have 95 books on my SD card, with room for more! I just wish I could find Austin Tappan Wright's Islandia!

Wow. I've got more than that in just Star Trek books. I'm trying to reread all of them in electronic format. Although I love e-books, I guess I'm not willing to give up my deadtree-books. I usually just read ebooks when I'm stuck at the mall or some other place with long lines. There and at work. Get them in pdf and they almost look like you're doing something productive.

I know, I'm WAY behind! The funny thing is...my family thinks that's an enormous number...if they could only see the list of "must downloads"...
