Free E-books for Palm

Two years ago I bought a Palm Tungsten E2 to better organize my work schedule when I was working as a full-time librarian. I have also been using it as my electronic phonebook.

Actually the PDA has software that allows electronic documents to be downloaded, accessed and even edited. I have not really explore the full capabilities of the PDA and now that I have more free time, I thought of

Since we are getting ready to be on the road for the next five days, instead of bringing 4-5 books to read during the trip, I searched for free e-books on the internet to download on my PDA.

All praise be to Allah SWT I typed in the keywords 'free ebook palm' in Google and TADA, here are a few web sites where I found some of my favorite books e.g. 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes', and non-fiction books on self-improvement. I even found an English translated version of the Holy Koran on one of these web sites.
