Free Book App - Plus Free Downloadable Books!

I'll take reading anyway I can get it. To me, there's nothing quiet the same as having an actual book in your hand. However, as an educator of children, it's important to remember that we are CONSTANTLY competing against a vast assortment of technology. If you own a Kindle, you can find a ton of free reading materials online...and even if you don't...you can download an app for reading to your computer, BlackBerry, Android, iPhone or iPad. Cool, huh? Here are a few links to get you started...

Free App for Reading (get this first, then download your books to view)
