I don't spend much time online with one exception, Project Gutenberg. There are enough to keep me busy for the rest of my life — and probably for two or three more lives.I love the mix of books they offer; there are books about everything you can imagine and quite a few I couldn't imagine. Slavery and Four Years of War, Vol. 1-2, Wood-Carving Design and Workmanship, The Essentials of Spirituality, English Walnuts — What You Need to Know about Planting, Cultivating and Harvesting This Most Delicious of Nuts and McGuffey's Eclectic Spelling Book are only a few.
The border above is from Handbook of Embroidery by L. Higgin.
Books that are not available in other places at least not in Sweden — can be found at Gutenberg. I don't know how many years I've been trying to find a copy of Marie Bashkirtseff's diary — at least for 30 years. Gutenberg has it!
But I have to admit that I prefer to read real books. I've heard about a "thing" smaller than a computer you can use to read e-books but nobody I ask has heard about it.
Hei -eller hallo!
SvaraRaderaJeg snublet over bloggen din. Og jeg liker den. Kan hende du har fått svar på hva denne lesedingsen som er mindre enn en computer er. Men hvis ikke:
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Device/dp/B000FI73MA Jeg vet ikke om det fungerer utenfor USA.
I stumbled into your blog. I like it. You might have got your answer in your search for a reading device smaller than a computer. I´m not sure how it works overseas.

Välkommen det är så trevligt med nya vänner! Tack för tipset.
SvaraRaderaJag har letat på nätet och lärt mig att det heter läsplatta på svenska, de här anordningarna för att läsa e-böcker. Men jag har inte hittat några svenska och de amerikanska och engelska är förfärligt dyra - särskilt nu när vi betalar över 9 kronor för en dollar! Om jag ger mig till tåls så kommer de kanske till överkomliga priser även här.
