A wonderful gift idea for a book nerd who still hesitates whether ebooks are worth the try. This USB drive looks like a tiny book and holds 3,000 public domain English-language classic books!
You’ll find here novels by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Emily Brontë, Oscar Wilde, and H.G. Wells, among others. All the books are available in epub format. That means they are compatible with every ebook platform, except Kindle.
There is no need to have a tablet or smartphone to read these books. The drive has its own little software that lets read the books right after you plug it into your PC.
If you own a Mac computer, you can open the titles in iBooks application.
If you have a Gmail account, you can open the books in a web browser, in your Google Play Books profile associated with Gmail. Simply click on Upload files button, and select from the USB the books you want to add to your account. You can start reading them in a browser immediately.
