I would like to get free public domain books in my email. When I have some downtime at work I would like to be able to read a chapter or two a day. Does anyone know of any website that has free public domain books ie. Tom Sawyer or some other classic book, that will send to my email daily?

Here's a site that will e-mail you classic novels: http://www.classic-novels.com/ Here's what they say: "Classic Novels - In 5 Minutes A Day brings you the world's best classic novels, delivered in daily five-minute installments to your e-mail. Our Classic Novels on Demand™ system allows readers to subscribe to a novel today and start reading it today. Visit our subscription page to see what titles are available.

Enjoy!

The best places are Google Books and Project Gutenberg which put public domain texts on the web.
Google Books digitizes actual pages and allows you to read them, while Project Gutenberg has plain text versions. Excellent resources, both of them.

You can get free public domain books from http://www.gutenberg.org or you can just google the title of the book your looking for and after the title type filetype: pdf and that will give you a list of public domain ebooks with that title. Hope that helps.

Just go to Project Gutenberg and pick out the ones you want to read. I don't know of any site that e mails them to you. Just e mail them to yourself from home so you can read at work. You can only expect so much out of a free site. They provide the books. The rest is up to you. Pax - C
