This site with the strange name, http://blog.booksontheknob.org, has daily free books for Kindle, Nook, and others. I've found nearly one a day recently, enough to keep me in reading material for a long time.

That one may come in handy. I've noticed that Baen is starting to change their philosophy (Jims' gone, new mgmt?) and charge big time ($15 ea.) for popular authors (DRake and Weber for example). Oh Well! once you are hooked!

If you read series and want the order written check out FictFact.com. If you go the the home page they will want you to register but you do not need to. Instead just google "FictFact.com" and you can check out by author, series etc. I just discovered this site but it looks like a jewel.

When I visit the Baen free library.. One of the things I notice is that you often find say book one in a series (Example: The lark and the Wren by Mercedes (Misty) Lacky) but the next book in the series.... not there. OH, I'm currently reading a different book by Ms. Lacky. (Or if you like Mrs, Niven, yes, her husband is Larry Niven, read a few of his too)
Just enough in the free library to get you well and truly hooked.

Wendy, I saying the BAEN free library has one or two books in a larger series. I used Misty's books as an example. I might add the one I'm reading now is not in that particular series.
As to her having an author husband,, What's so strange about that?

I don't recall if it's been mentioned or not, but one of my favorite sites for free E-books is Smashwords.com. I've found some real treasures there.

Many thanks Ned, already saved me a few bucks.
For those of you that like science fiction, and haven't discovered the Honor Harrington series, I suggest you check out this site for free downloads of all the books in the series. Other sites are selling most of these for $2.99 and up for each volume. There are 12 books in the Honorverse series, 5 anthologies, plus 2 other 2 volume sets, enough to keep anyone busy for several months 
Honor Harrington is like Horatio Hornblower in the 25th century and is really addictive.

Don't forget that you can also "borrow" ebooks from the public library for nook and (now) for kindle. Here's a link to our Harris County public library ebook page. http://hcpl.lib.overdrive.com/EE4E8E11-EEB4-4019-9D18-7BBE14ED7B43/10/445/en/Default.htm

I'll second the 60+ comment; just completed re-reading the Honor Harrington series and most of the other David Weber books. I now own complete sets of both paperback and ebook copies. John Ringo, David Drake and Lois McMaster Bujold are other author's I've re-read and the same applies to both of them (except for the very newest releases).
Ned; if you haven't gotten hooked on the Miles Vorkosigan series (Bujold), you've got another treat coming. It compares favorably with Harrington.
