free e reader books?

I've finally bought myself an e reader, (Kobo mini, on offer for £29.99 at Wh Smiths) i know we've had threads about free e reader books before but i can't seem to find it, can anyone point me in the right direction please? i've already read Tales of Peter Rabbit and Alice's adventures in Wonderland :D

oh and i can't find a sleeve in a shop small enough to cover the kobo mini, the ones i have seen online cost a fair bit, any suggestions? (i could make one i suppose but i'm just being lazy) ;)

Just google 'free ebooks' and you are spoilt for choice.

I was going to give you links but there are too many.

Flashy, Amazon has a good few free downloads...not sure if the Kobo takes the amazon format.
They also have some very cheap downloads too some as low as 20 pence.
Enjoy your e-reader. I never thought I would say this, but I just love mine.
(I still buy real books though as well)

What dimensions does this thing have? Would a cheap slimline version of a laptop case/sleeve not do it?

Its only about 5/6 inch DiGy (less of the smutty thoughts please), I think I'll buy a laptop sleeve from the poundshop and cut it down/sew it up to make a small one

flashy, shouldn't you put a stiff piece of cardboard or something inside it to protect the screen?
Soft felt won't protect it from anything pressing on it, especially if it's sharp or pointed.
Just thinking of the things you ladies shove into your bags besides e readers.
My kindle case is re-enforced back and front.

Gordon Gordon Gordon, i doubled the felt over before i sewed it up, it created 2 pockets, one of which i put a thin polystyrene sheet into (the front), i then sewed around the top of the pocket (as you can see in the photo), i didnt need to put one on the back of it because the Kobo already has a protective shell on the back, so no need to worry, all area's are covered, i aint just a pretty face you know ;)

Oh YES I have- long enough to tell that underneath you're just a teddy bear.
By the way, what's the flap and button for? As it was made by a woman I can guess the answer to that.
