Mobipocket has left the market and gives away hundred of ebooks
(public domain). Their readers for PC, mobile phones, and PDA:s are
now all freely downloadable, it seems, advanced ebook creators, too.

There seems to be no way to use any of that on a Mac (without some
crappy or overpriced emulator for a second-rate platform).

Some odd stuff there - I tried listing largest book first (saw only
the first screen, their indexing doesn't really work) and the first
few items were chromosomes from the Human Genome Project. I guess it
might have uses for when lorem ipsum won't do. I wonder if one of
those "I read the whole Britannica and wrote a book about it" types
might want to take that on?
