Shhhhh... don't say anything but...
I found Richard Dawkins "The God Delusion" in pdf format for free at ebookee.com. You might need a torrent to download it.
You can get "The Portable Atheist" too...

2. Someone mention it work about finding ebooks online |
|
So I checked it. i do not want to buy it yet since I have so many books and besides cause I do not want to read "The God delusion" yet. I do want to read all his books first which would be a difficult task. I am currently reading The God Gene and "God is not Great". I have "God is not great" in written format but found the audio file in the internet. It is fun listening to it and using the book at the same time.

3. Funnily enough, my displeasure of reading e-books comes from GiNG. |
|
Someone posted a link, and since I don't actually care that much about Hitchens, I downloaded and started reading. Bringing a laptop to bed was... meh. Nothing can beat paper books.
On the plus side, I liked what I read enough that I decided I'll eventually buy GiNG in dead tree. So much for downloading "hurting artists."

4. I'd love a really effective e-book device |
|
I really hope something like the Amazon Kindle succeeds, and becomes available where I live. I have limited space, so a small device which could hold hundreds of books, with a paper-like display, would be quite exciting.
Steve Jobs was asked whether Apple might produce such a device, and he answered that there's no market for it, because people don't read books any more. :-(

5. This seems good but is way too expensive IMO |
|
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11038811The Sony Portable reading system is between $179 to almost $300 depending on where you get it. Nah... I'll pass that. Maybe if it had more features like an electronic calendar or planner, etc. not just to read.

that's, like, unethical. Richard worked hard on that book. He deserves the royalties.

I still want to read his first book "The Selfish Gene" but I'm afraid it won't happen!! The temptation is too great.
NOOO!!!!

10. The Selfish Gene is on my list, too. Gotta get through the current pile first, though! |
