Bob Russell shares this mobile tidbit from MobileRead: Manybooks.net (a public domain / free eBook site) provides a mobile version of their offerings for Java-based cellphones! Point your browser to http://mnybks.net and you can download an eBook in .jar format for reading on the go. If you use Mobipocket reader on a handheld, you can also use the mobile site for Mobipocket format books. Given the smallish-screen on my T-Mobile Dash, I’m going to pass on this for now, but I’d love to hear from some readers that give it a try! Bear in mind that these are non-DRM titles (I think we have a theme going here), so you won’t find recent best-sellers and the like; however, Manybooks states that there are over 16,000 titles available.
