Free Reading for People on the Go
The following is a guest post from Christina at Northern Cheapskate who helps you “nurture your frugal nature”.
A friend of mine recently asked me if I’d read a particular book she was reading for her book club. I started to laugh because the book was 800 pages long. The last time I had a chance to read anything was a magazine article when I locked myself in the bathroom!
But now there’s a great solution for those who want to do some pleasure reading but are crunched for time: DailyLit.
DailyLit sends you short sections of a book to read to you via e-mail or a feed reader. You can even have the installments sent to your iPhone or Blackberry. Each daily installment takes about 5 minutes to read. If you have more time, you can get additional installments on demand.
DailyLit has more than 1,000 titles that are free to read. Other books are offered on a pay-per-installment basis. You get the first installment of these books for free, so that you can try it out before you buy it.
All you have to do is find a book you like to read, enter your e-mail address, and hit subscribe! You can even pick your schedule of updates.
If you’re really busy, and don’t have time for even a short e-mail, you can also check out this list of fabulous audio freebies.
