You can now read the entire "Getting Real" book from the folks at 37signals online for free. This is my favorite book on building webapps.

"Engines of Creation," a classic work by Eric Drexler on the coming age of nanotechnology is now available as a freely downloadable ebook. Enjoy!

I read the entire book last night and this morning and think it's great! While it feels a touch steep to sell a digital download for $19.95 of a sparse page tome (that you can't share with anyone), the value is in the content itself, and in this regard, I can't think of any passionate developer or internet company that would not agree with what's written here...

I would strongly suggest getting the group edition in your workplace if you expect more than 3 people to read it.

Tangentially, the book also gives you a formula for how 37signals continues to gain success with simple web applications.

The Dotted link takes you to the main page and gives you access to 4 free chapters. Try it out for yourself!

This looks like a great site for keeping up with all the advances in ebooks and ereaders.
