Internet Archive

This evening, while surfing the Internet and reading some blogs, I came across a wonderful website.  It's called the Internet Archive, and this site is just that--an archive of digital content found on the web.  They offer free books, movies, music and more.  All of their material is in the public domain, and everything is free to download to your computer and other devices such as your MP3 player and ereaders like the Kindle.  

This site has a wealth of information to search through and explore.  I'm going to do more snooping through the "stacks" of this virtual library, but first wanted to share the link with you.
