Gizmo's Freeware's free e-book and audiobook landing page. Twenty-one categories of e-books, four of audiobooks.

Gizmo's Freeware isn't quite as much fun as TVTropes or Wikipedia to browse ... but there's lotsa good stuff there.

Too bad even the kindle links are not compatible with the newest kindles(aka they haven't figured out how to work around the new tech yet). Half of those links do not have anything that works on either of my tablets. Sending them my friends way to see if her Galaxy's can use them.

Have you tried using the conversion utility built into the Calibre e-reader?

Calibre is not available fir the Fire HD 8.9, and the flash is not supported as of yet for this either, so no flash dependent readers. Guess this was done before they secured Adobe support. If you find a no root version of either for the fire, I'd love to see one, and thanks in advance, as I had no luck.

No,i meant that you can use Calibre on your PC to convert e-books from one format to another.

My son wants to know if he can hide in your suitcase.

Yeah, and I have hilarious stories of my baby brother doing that when my Mother was going to visit Grandma in Seoul, and my Auntie in Taejon. He made a teensy divot in her clothes, and fell asleep. He in fact, was the same age and height as my son. We were frantically combing the neighbourhood looking for him, and he was blissfully dreaming away. Three hours later,we all crashed in Mothers room crying and we hear him snore. Thank whatever God that believes in me that he does not frequent this board or I would be sushi... :P

That WAHOOO! you just heard was my son reading that. He says you are awesome(and he says to tell you he knows he really cannot, but it is a grand thought to head off to school with).
