it looks ok enuf but only a few pages pop up at a time thereby requiring an always on net connection to read a full book (most project guten stuff) and thereby really no easy way to "download a book" to read on a flight or somewhere where there is no net connection (like a subway)

All the books I saw are out of copyright; it's the same selection one would get from Project Gutenberg.
