I have about a bajillion books by now because Gutenberg is free. I use the same program in my iPad Books section for downloading and storing anything else that interests me, like certain government docs and newspaper or magazine articles of interest. Reading is easy — when I have any difficulty with my vision I simply blow up the font size.

I’m due to get a new iPad soon, and expect it to have the same facility or better.
