Project Gutenberg is a favorite website of mine for reading old gems of books for free. I just realized that on their home page, they have information about the World Ebook Fair, where through Aug. 4th, one million+ ebooks and audiobooks of all kinds are available here for free download!

The directory doesn’t seem to have a list of titles or authors (that would be massive) but many books are grouped in collections here.

Ask the readers: Long distance plans?

Add to my favorites

by crystal on July 29, 2008

We had a busy and eventful last few days and I’m taking half a day off from blogging to take care of some things on the home front here. I’ll back this afternoon to share some more great deals. In the mean time, would anyone like to share some input on Amy’s question?

I wondered if you’ve got any good tips/advice/comparisons on long distance calling
plans. Currently, we have unlimited long distance with our home phone
but are considering canceling all of that. Have you researched
whether it’s cheaper to have a cell phone only and use it for
everything, have a calling card and keep a land line with no long
distance, or have you discovered something else? – Amy

What does your family do for long distance calls? What have you found to be the least expensive option? What works best for your family? Tell us in the comments section.
