Scion and I thank you for your service!

Free books for your e-reader

Ok, let me preface this by saying that I'm not the most tech-savvy person.  I think I'm one of the few people who hasn't gotten a kindle, nook, ipad or similar.  I'm so out of touch that the book I'm currently reading is held together by Tyvek tape because I've read it so many times that it's falling to pieces.Tyvek Sheathing Tape

Anyway, I have seen a couple cool places where you techies can get free e-books, so I figured you might be interested.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/digital-text?ie=UTF8&ref_=pd_dp_ts_kinc_1&tag=533643283-20
Amazon has 100 free books for your Kindle.  If you check out the page, the left side is the top 100 paid books and the right side is the top 100 free books, which they allow anyone to download for free.
I'm not sure if you can convert the format to use on other e-readers, but I'm sure that if you can... you guys know how to do it!
