E-readers and economics

This may or not be helpful to anyone else, but I was astounded by something this weekend and wonder if this might help anyone else.  I do NOT understand all the ins and outs of which type of files are readable on different devices–I barely understand my own.  But this weekend, I was very, very surprised to receive an “early Christmas/birthday” present of an e-reader, and began looking around for things I could load on it.  I’m cheap, so I was looking for free things.    Remembering our recent discussion on economic texts, I was really, really surprised to find that  the Mises Institute, the publishers of Lessons for the Young Economist, the collected works of Frederic Bastiat, and many other very useful books for high school economics, has their entire catalog–their ENTIRE catalog–available on their website.  As e-pub or .pdf files.  For FREE.  Completely, totally free.  I was blown away by this.  I had about thirty things marked in their catalog that I wanted.  Hope it might be useful to someone else!  My boys are so enamoured of my new e-reader that they’ve spent almost all day, in bits and pieces, trying to chase down two remaining Touchpads that were recently put on deep discount and have brought a number of online sellers’ websites to a complete halt today.  LOL  We’ve ordered eight of the things and not ended up with any yet!  LOL 

Anyway, here is the site:       http://mises.org/literature.aspx
