Here, you will find electronically enhanced classics that have withstood the test of time and will endure even longer than they have lived. Why? Perhaps they hold within their words, basic values, fundamental principles that appeal to everyone, regardless of one's cultural background.
Because I love reading legends, folktales, myths, you will find that the selection of ebooks in this category contains more of the above than the average classics collection.
What is fiction?
According to the Encyclopędia Britannica:
literature created from the imagination, not presented as fact, though it may be based on a true story or situation. Types of literature in the fiction genre include the novel, short story, and novella. The word is from the Latin fictio, "the act of making, fashioning, or molding."
I used to be an avid reader of science-fiction, fantasy, sword&sorcery; at one point, my library had over 2 000 titles and believe me, not an unread one on those shelves.
I sold or gave away most of them. I guess that after so many books, I knew the story and its end before page 10. But now, I am going back to sci-fi because I feel that I can add a new dimension using the
ebook
format.
Learning, what a wonderful and rewarding activity. When you learn something, you discover a new world or a new way to look at the old one. Learning should not be dull and boring; I can't liven up a dictionary but I'll try.
There a many ways to learn. You can look up words in a dictionary or try to solve some brainteasers. E-dition offers all kind of ebooks to quench your knowledge thirst.
What is it with poetry? Why are people scared when you talk about poetry? Why do some think poets are strange and famished writers who live within the confines of their minds? Who care not for the outside world. Yes, they are a strange breed.

Okay, we spend more time in front of the screen than getting together. How about some ebooks that will interest every member of the family. Better buy a BIG screen if you are many.
In this category, that's exactly what you will find. Learn recipes, how to build gadgets, etc...
I chose the word Esoterism because it encompasses almost anything and everything that Science can not (or will not) explain. Dream interpretation, witchcraft, e.s.p.
I remember one day in a chemistry class, our teacher said something like:
Science knows how two atoms bind together, but it does not know why.
These ebooks will offer you a glimpse of that other world .
This category is for ebooks that are out of the mainstream, such as gay literature and activism. I am not a politically correct person. I hate those expressions such as: visually impaired, intellectualy challenged. They carry much more negativism than the real words that have been used for ages before the PC people started to try to make us wear pink glasses. How can you define good if you can not oppose it evil ?
These ebooks may shock or provoke you but I don't care.
