Book-bot.com - Read Thousands of Famous Books

At first glance, Book-bot.com seems very simple.

That's because it is. Drawing from Project Gutenberg's database of books which are no longer copyright protected, this site strives to give the user a simplified, no-fluff online reading experience. And frankly, this is what a serious reader wants. There are no blinking images or long-loading flash animations vying for your attention or your bandwidth. Instead a small set of modest text ads sit near the top of the page. Currently, the site holds a bit over 14,000 books. They proudly feature such time-honored authors as Dostoyevsky, Twain and Lewis Carroll. The ajax interface quickly serves up one page at a time and offers two large and easy-to-see buttons to "turn" the pages. Registering with an email address will grant the user automatic book marking. In other words, if they leave and come back later, the site will automatically remember the page they last looked at in each book.
