Information is power!
If I keep the good stuff to myself I can feel silently superior to you.
What??
Okay ... okay ... I'll share, but I don't have to like it!
From this day forward, Saturday's will be dedicated to sharing. I might share a website I find useful, a blog I read regularly, or maybe even a recipe.
We'll see where this goes.

Although I don't anticipate ever owning an e-reader, I did recently jump into the (android) smart phone pool. I promptly downloaded the Amazon Kindle App (on my phone and my PC) figuring it might be a nice diversion during those times I get stuck somewhere that I don't want to be, for longer than I anticipate being there.
The problem? I'm cheap. I don't want to pay for e-books. And I'm LAZY. I don't want to spend hours searching for free books.
Ta-Da!

I love my Kindle Fire for reading and surfing the net. I'll check out Zero Dollar Books. I use http://www.ereaderiq.com/
I like how it separates all the genres.
I love, love, love Archive.org. To quote the site "Download free books and texts. The Internet Archive Text Archive contains a wide range of fiction, popular books, children's books, historical texts and academic books." Even if you do not have an e-reader, you can read online or download texts in PDFs, EBUB, Daisy, Full Text and DjVu.
Really, where else can you find "The Mary Frances Knitting & Crocheting Book" from 1918 in Kindle format?
Oh, I forgot to mention, they also have moving images, audio, software and a ton of other goodies. It's a great resource!
I like it. Free is for me.
Also: check with your library, you can sometimes check out e-books from them.
Gutenberg has put just about all of the classic in digital form...and offers them for free. I think you'll love this.
