...email from Aunt Lee

"Thought I'd let you know that I have put up a custom Google search engine that searches for free e-books:


I've gotten a bit obsessed with building a digital library for my household; I built the thing to save myself time but thought others might find it useful.  I also put up a couple of tutorials on the whole e-book process."
