Many of these titles have been available (in multiple formats) at Project Gutenberg, Memoware.com, Manybooks.net and others. Lots of good, legally available stuff out there.

And let's not forget the Free Library at the Webscriptions service of Baen Books. Current, in print books for free. Can't beat that with a stick.

There are some great titles in there that I definitely want to read, but not online. I'd much rather have the book in hand when reading.

Carl, many of those titles are downloads. You can read them on your PC or a PDA. Of course if that don't work for you, if they are text files, you can print them out. If that still doesn't work...there's always ABEBooks.com and other OOP sources.

There's also this new invention called "The Library"

I use spec fiction a lot. It really is a great service.
And "go to the library" what? are you 90? what? yeah Library when
I do research MAYBE but if I want CC material that is complete
this place is just the deal. Now yes, some of the new material
is excerpts - thats their choice. But I have written to many of
the authors and asked if I can use their material in a non comercial
read and get great responses. Cant do that at the library.
Everyone should check this site out. There is something there for
everyone.
