Reading an entire book on your computer: a little weird. I know. But the idea behind Scribd really interests me: it's like YouTube for text. Anyone can upload any kind of document and share it for free or charge money for it. As a writer, I think it's an interesting way to put your work out in the world and get feedback on it. Here's a preview of what Last Bookstore looks like on Scribd. You can read a chapter or two in preview mode (click the Enlarge button, upper right, to make it full screen).
And no, the book is not really 699 pages long. It's been reformatted to be very easy to read on a screen, and that means that a breezy 300-page book in the traditional printed format converts to twice as many 'pages' on your screen.
