Robert Nagle has written an interesting essay on ebook pricing: Part I and Part II. Well worth a read.

Do you want to know what newest ebooks have been added to the Manybooks.net free library? The Manybooks RSS feed will keep you updated with the newest ebooks added to the site so add it to your feed reader. Most of these are public domain classics that have just been digitized and all are free.

I love this RSS feed. Whenever I spot a book I want to remember, I just add it to my web based bookmarks. (I use MyJeeves, but Delicious or MyWeb2.0 would work too.) That way I can check them out later when I'm hunting for new reading material.

I noticed Fictionwise is now selling comics ebooks. Here is an example The Second Eye by Piero Tonin. Given the small screen of most PDA's I would think a single panel comic would lend itself the best. Anyway that is a good idea, I could see myself buying comics in ebook form and even reading them on a PDA.

I notice that they are only available in secure Mobipocket format. Hopefully Mobipocket will add a reader for Mac, because their reader and my Palm PDA are not cooperating for some reason.


Have a question about ebook formats post it to the Q&A board.
