Here is a site for free, non-fiction books. They are free because they have advertising embedded directly within the book. I have found that the books are generally of good quality. Not stellar or incredibly thorough, but decent nonetheless.

"[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Amongst other things, I’m Just Sitting on a Fence chronicles Dax Flame’s travels in India, Hollywood, Rome, Mexico, San Francisco, and the Grand Canyon, where he volunteers at an orphanage, auditions with a movie star, falls in love, kills a fish, goes through a nervous breakdown, and has an epiphany-inducing near-death experience. But that may be misleading; there’s more to it than that."[/font]

"...[size=small][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The culture of the seasonal field biologist is vastly different than that of the typical 9-5 office worker. Whiskey filled nights around the campfire, travelling across the country for work, 5 a.m. tailgate meetings with surly construction workers, and of course, hilarious animal encounters, are just a few of the things a biologist might deal with over the course of a field season...."[/font][/size]

Thanks for the free ebook links Cyndi. I went over there the other day for one and ended up downloading about 20 since. :D

Is there a way to fine tune the free e book search to just nonfiction or specific categories other than mainly novels categories? I didn't see anyplace to select nonfiction when I did a free ebook search.

Thanks again! :)
