who doesn’t love free stuff?

I recently started downloading books from Wowio. They have a great business model: free books if you don’t mind ads on the front page.  The site is wonderful and easy to use; it’s creating an account that’s a bit more difficult.  You must verify that you are a real person by providing a non-anonymous email address (no gmail account), CC#, or copy of ID.  I used my yogabear.org account, which worked just fine.  Since I’m used to insta-online memberships, the couple of hours I had to wait for my account to be activated was killer.

Anyhow, once you’re in, you can download up to three books a day, in PDF format (no reader required!).  Even better, they are beautifully accessible via the iphone.  This is going to come in handy on my 26 hour flight to Bangkok :)
