Anyone know of where I can find ASCII copies of books you buy at the store? I have a bookshelf full of about 1000+ books that I've been collecting well....since I was born. Most of 'em are in good shape but some are falling apart, also it would be nice to have my entire book collection with me when I go on a trip.

Now there are a couple of books sites on the net where you can find free books but when I last did a search they were usually older books. I'm not asking for free copies of books I don't have, just a site where I can aquire a "backup" of my hardcopies.

www.gutenberg.org aims to eventually have a copy of anything that's public domain (older stuff like Lewis Carrol, Bram Stoker, etc.) and has a great deal available at the moment. www.ebooks.com has non-PD stuff available, but you have to pay for it, just like any other book.
