Who Wants a Free iPod Nano?

Okay... you gotta love the fact that another internet boom cycle is underway. There's a new internet startup going around that's offering fun incentives for building it's userbase.

I'm not going to disclose the name here, until I reach my invite quota, but basically it's an interesting new service that allows you to download e-books. My buddy Joel checked it out and came to a similar conclusion as I... reading books online is still difficult, but if you have a handheld or eBook reader of any kind, the files being in PDF format will aleviate that issue for you.

Some of the books in the system, available for free:

• Civil Disobedience
  Henry David Thoreau
• Plato's Ethics
  Terence Irwin
• Thus Spake Zarathustra
  Friedrich Nietzsche
• Virtual Realism
  Michael Heim
• Brave New World
  Aldous Huxley
• Immortal Two 01
  Mike S. Miller
• The Dreamland Chronicles 04
  Scott Christian Sava
• Lyndon B. Johnson: Portrait of a President
  Robert Dallek

Y'see, an interesting cross-section of books.
