^ really man, a 3-second google search for "free e-books" found this. First result too.

Thanks TelcoLou missed that one somehow.

Amerindian 2192 is a kickass Sci-Fi book released as a .txt, .pdf, and even as MP3s.

I don't think I would want to read the WHOLE book on my GP2X though. Listening to the audiobook would work though.

Can't forget about http://www.textfiles.com. It pretty much has something for everyone, plus lots of weird stuff.

Reading a book on the gp2x is fine. I've read King Solomon's Mines and The Picture of Dorian Grey on my gp2x. You might want to try the alternative viewer that was just released. Formatting text files for the original reader can be a pain.

im too lazy to squint at my screen to read ebooks, anyone know some good places for /good/ audiobooks?

your local library or bookstore.

Use Flite

Alternative viewer?

heh ive read a few books on my 2x here are the ones i remember :
1632
1633
endymion
the rise of endymion
the neutronium alchemist

there might be others but i cant remember lol, i read alot and pretty fast so its not big deal

my local library doesnt have audiobooks, and there is no local bookstore. obviously, i was asking for locations of websites where i can download audiobooks and put them on my 2x, why you gotta be a dick and try to be a smart ass? seriously?

EBooks rule, I picked up dozens once I got my GP2X All the classics I've always wanted to read. Also, Project Gutenburg also has an audiobook of the time machine, recommended!

I am going to look for an index I had. It had many, many books. But - I will PM you to see if you are interest, granted I find it.

Though, I've haven't tried it myself yet.


I'm saying that you probably won't be able to find a good size collection of free audiobooks for download at a legitimate website unless they are read by a computer. If you want to find a pay site for downloading audiobooks, a simple google search should bring up audible.com and many others. And, I'm sorry, I didn't know you lacked a local bookstore .

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know about that.

All sorts of technical manuals and How-Tos on the Linux OS can be found at The Linux Documentation Project.

You can find some really good free audiobooks at http://podiobooks.com
You have to register but it's free. They have a good selection of sci-fi/fantasy books. Some great (free) ones I have listened to:
Earthcore
Ancestore
Infection (in progress)
The Pocket and the Pendant
Nogglestones
Amerindian 2192

Do a google search for podcast audiobooks and/or podiobooks.

Also, some good free sci-fi stories can be had at http://escapepod.info
