What do you know about digital books? - GoFuckYourself.com

I need digital books, but from my past experience the selection that I could find was rather limited. With the creation of products like the new Amazon reader, I was thinking that perhaps now more books are available in digital format. I want to be able to read these on my computer, not the Amazon reader, so something like PDF format would be most efficient.

Where can I find new books in digital format? I know about the Gutenberg Project but that only has books that are free of copyright restrictions.

Any advice? Suggestions?

I'm looking for fiction, nonfiction, and business related materials.

They're kind of a tried-and-dead technology. The only places left who really support them (and exist) are Adobe, and Microsoft. The Kindle is neat, but it's the same thing all over again. Try here for titles.

I know. I've been having this problem for many years. It really bums me out.

I understand totally why it doesn't catch on, it just sucks.
