All of the 200 ebooks in this growing collection are in the EPUB format. This is a newer open standard, and is supported by many devices including the Sony Readers and Nooks, but not unfortunately, the Kindle.

The titles for our opening collection are a mix of recent, popular books for adults, teens and older children, including reading group favorites, romances, memoirs and biographies, history, and more. Visit our ebook information page to learn how to search for and download these titles. Classics and public domain titles are not included at this time as these books are often readily available at no cost in a variety of formats (including EPUB and Kindle) on sites like Manybooks.net and Google Books.

We hope to add other e-book formats and types of material later and welcome your suggestions for additional titles.
