100 Free Ebooks - I personally love reading, always have. I especially love classic literature, most of which is now out of copyright (public domain) and can be downloaded and read by anyone freely and legally.
That being the case, I've been somewhat surprised and disappointed at the number of free ebooks which exist on the BlackBerry® App World™ that are being charged for. I decided I could sit and complain about it, or I could make a very minimalist free ebook app full of the most popular free ebooks from www.gutenberg.org.
This app contains the following ebooks:
