Free books! Although I am not that big into reading, the thought of being able to read free books online sounds like a great idea. Books normally cost around $10, so you are saving a lot of money by choosing to read them online. The authors vary from Jane Austen to George Orwell, and the books vary from The Invisible Man to Pride and Prejudice. You could argue against the idea of reading books online by claiming it is not as relaxing as kicking your feet up and reading away. Also, many people read books for hours, but staring at a computor screen for hours may cause certain people discomfort. All in all, I really like this idea and may use this website in the future.

I have been able to enjoy electronic reading more lately because of my tiny netbook. If you ever want to ease the stress on your eyes when reading on the screen, you need to do two things: 1) turn down the brightness, 2) change the background color of a document whenever possible to a pastel color. It is much easier on the eyes.
