A couple of links I wanted to point out:

(1) Blackmask Online: This is a site that provides lots of free public domain ebooks, mostly if not all Project Gutenberg stuff, but they provide them in a variety of user-friendly formats that makes it easy to pop the books right onto your PDA. Project Gutenberg’s files are sometimes formatted strangely, so when you transfer the TXT file it doesn’t display properly on a PDA. Blackmask Online has most of their books available in MS-Reader, Acrobat, Rocket eBook, Zipped format, iSilo, and, my personal favorite: Mobipocket. The Mobipocket editions I downloaded all look to be nicely formatted and excellent reading editions. Blackmask Online also has a number of convenient genre groupings that make browsing easier, including, of course, our friend science fiction.

(2) SF Reading Habits Questionnaire: Farah Mendlesohn, SF critic and editor of the academic journal Foundation, has posted this questionnaire to gather material for a book called, The Inter-Galactic Playground of Children’s Science Fiction to be published by McFarland Press. And hey, she just wants you to talk about your tastes in science fiction; and you do that all the time, even to random strangers, don’t you? So why not help out an academic with her research?
