E Books

So now that Google is comning with an ebook reade when
is Microsoft going to get their act together and
make ebooks work?

I still can't get many of the best sellers on
my WM 5.0 device.

A Google e-book reader?

I can see it now... ;-)

"Moby Dick" (Ads sponsored by Google- Get Moby CDs for less!
www.amazon.com)

"by Herman Melville" (Moving to Melville? www.remax.com)

"Call me Ishmael..." (Cheap international Calling rates!
www.skype.com)

Not only is Google doing it but apparently Amazon is too.

And Sony has had one for while now.

Amazon has sold eBooks for a long time, but they were in an encrypted
PDF format that there was no PPC reader for.

A PC-based one? I know they sell a portable hardware unit similar to
RCA's attempt a few years back.

There are many eBook readers for PPCs- you might check out
Mobipocket.com or eReader.com and see if either's available
selections are to your liking.

Re: E Books

>> harry potter <<

While something might have changed, afaik, none of the Harry Potter
books have been released in EBook format, so, it's not a "reader" issue.
