Google to offer 500,000 + free books

For those of you who own a Sony Electronic Book-Reading Device will now be able to access more than half a million books from Google. These books will be available totally free of charge. It is believed that this is the first time Google has made its vast trove of scanned public-domain books available to an e-book device.

Books included in this deal were all published before 1923 and includes works like Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” as well as nonfiction classics like Herodotus’ “The Histories.” If you don’t own a Sony Book-Reading device, you can still download these books in PDF format which will work just great on your computer.  Google will also provide the books to the Sony Reader in the EPUB format, which lets the lines flow differently to fit a smaller screen.

To get books onto the Reader, the user first downloads them from Sony’s Web site using a computer, then connects the Reader to the computer. There are two models of the Reader, priced at $300 and $350.
