Instead of reading The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington or Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, you reached for the latest from John Grisham or Stephen King … not that there is anything wrong with either of those authors.
Now, with maybe a little extra time on your hands while waiting to load or while on a break from driving, you can read some of the classics without the expense or having to track them down at a bookstore or library.
Standard Ebooks is an online service with hundreds of titles presented with all of the niceties of books you will pay $12 or $20 to download. Each book lists how many words it contains, how long it ought to take to read, the level of difficulty, and a short synopsis.
