ISILO GRATIS FOR FREE

The Assayer is an online review site for free books, and seems to concentrate only on modern works. Project Gutenberg has some of those books, but mostly limits itself to public domain works (it has a no-vanity-press acceptance policy). However, there are a couple of sites that collect free modern ebooks.

The above was written from the viewpoint of somebody who is happy with reading century old books. All three are free downloads, as far as I know. There are many more readers than I mentioned here, but the ones listed here are recommended by many people on the net. The other readers tend to be more feature packed (I use Plucker for its syndication feature, and to read poetry for instance). Of course, it is likely that you have different requirements.

Plucker (for HTML source files), Weasel, Cspotrun.Д¬urrently, my personal favourite is Weasel, mostly for two reasons: it uses zLib compression, and it lets you annotate books, which is handy if you want to report errors to Project Gutenberg. The original Zire is rather slow, and sometimes it takes half a minute before a webpage is displayed on your Palm. I find Plucker a usable format to convert HTML files into, although it unfortunately does not have a way to specify how large you want your chunks of HTML. Since then, Project Gutenberg has started producing many more formats, especially HTML and MP3. The Viewers listed below have web pages that tend to link to the tools you need to create etexts for them.ДЄ year ago, the vast number of Project Gutenberg etexts were only available in its renowned 'plain vanilla text' format. However, sometimes that is the only option. I was mainly looking for PDBs of the classics out of laziness: I did not want to have to convert existing files to something the Palm understands. The sites mentioned above produce etexts that can immediately be installed on your Palm (clicking a downloaded file is often enough to put it in the queue for the next PC-Palm synchronization).

Last, but, as the saying goes, certainly not least, comes Blackmask, a provider of internet literature, much more than 'just' Project Gutenberg (iSilo, Microsoft Reader, Rocket eBook, Mobipocket).

Plucker Books is Dave and Curtis' website that offers stripped-down HTML versions of popular public domain literary works (Plucker).

GutenTalk is, like Many Books, a site where Project Gutenberg's fine literature is digitally republished (DOC).

Baen, commercial publisher of Science Fiction and Fantasy, publishes a substantial part of its catalog as gratis etexts (Microsoft Reader, Rocket eBook, PRC).

The Online Books Page is a directory listing over 20,000 free books on the Web in all kinds of formats.

Many Books provides free eBooks for your PDA (in Plucker, DOC, iSilo, Rocket Ebook, zTxt, PDF, and Palm Reader/eReader formats).

Project Gutenberg does provide gratis ebooks, but not in a Palm native format. All the links I found led to publishers of commercial etexts who used some freebies as teasers. Unfortunately, my first search on Google for free ebooks for the Palm Pilot was rather unsuccessful. In August 2003, I bought myself a Palm Zire PDA to read the texts I had helped produce, and some of the classics. It is presented here purely for historical interest.
