We are grateful to Google and Sony for making almost a half a million titles in the public domain available in formats optimized for Sony's E Reader. Unlike Kindle, Sony is fully compatible with Adobe PDF's and, although you can read these books in their prior form, having them in a form optimized for the Sony E Reader is definitely a plus. But, don't pat yourself on the back for too long Sony - you have a long way to go with the E Reader and I will tell you what needs to be done even if you will not listen.
Some might question the value of this collection, but I do not. My interests include Egyptology, Philosophy, Comparative Religion, History, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mythology, Anthropology, as well as Hermetic and Esoteric Studies and there are many treasures in this collection including works by Breasted, Budge, and Fraizer. I will not even try to list all of the great Philosophy one can find among these books. As for those who prefer fiction, there is more than enough here to keep one very well entertained during a lifetime of airline flights. The next time you think of buying a book by King, Kellerman, or Clancy, take a look at the works available - you are sure to find books here that are much more enjoyable than those of these kings of pop fiction.
