You can get all kinds of Twain (and tons of other works in the public
domain) for free, mostly in nicely scanned/formatted files in multiple file
types at

www.gutenberg.org

It's also a nice project to support, either through volunteering or
donations, if you're into that sort of thing.

I read ebooks on my Palm; I found some good freeware on the 'net for
converting various file types to the Palm format. I've even seen software
that enables ebooks on a Zune, which my wife has. Lots of inexpensive
options for all kinds of platforms if you do some research.

Cya,
Robert
