Beyond Method #6

Well, I don't own an e-book reader and I don't expect to own one anytime soon. Main reasons being, I have a million other expensive things I'd prefer to spend my money on (i.e., I'm a freelance professional musician and I am currently in the market for a couple of new musical instruments and other equipment) as well as the fact that I still enjoy reading print books and even the process of going to the local public library branch, browsing the shelves, and picking out new reads.

I will confess however, that I have just downloaded the latest Carol Burnett autobiography on my (work-provided, again see $$$ factor) iPhone and am enjoying reading it although it takes me literally about 9 seconds to read each "page". Anyway, continuing with this post and its assignment.

I went to Project Gutenberg's page on Little Women by Alcott. This website is clean and easy to use and they certainly have a lot of the major classics as offerings. As far as reading the HTML page, I generally don't like to read for extended periods of time on the computer screen and I'd probably burn out after about 5 minutes of reading this e-book. I do see this being a valuable tool for high school or college students, as an example, who might need to refer to one of these texts for a homework assignment or some such thing.
