Health Science 101 Guidelines
Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.
Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.
This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

Poor Mr. mossy has a hard time finding cologne that doesn't make me sneeze.I'm not here anymore.

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

*Marvel Unlimited is pretty nice. Although it didn't have everything I wanted to read, I did get more than my money's worth. My subscription ended just a few days ago.

Books I want tend to be more expensive than I would like to pay, or I have no way of obtaining them digitally. For the past several years I haven't able to read anything that's not on a backlit screen without making my headache worse. Hopefully this odd RSD symptom will go away. Hasn't so far though.

Most of the classics you can get on gutenberg.org, too. I'm pretty sure Amazon Prime has a lot of free and/or reduced e-books.I'm not here anymore.

I have a library of like 10,000 books I could give you. plus like Carr said, most libraries have digital books you can borrow and there are tons of free books on the web. If you have amazon prime, you even get a free book every month and can borrow kindle books for free from their library.

It is an ebook library manager. It has a reader built in, and can read and convert all sorts of ebook formats. So you could read on your computer, or convert it for your kindle. I will try to get you my calibre library which has thousands of books. Lot's of fantasy and scifi stuff. And you can download ebooks from various online sites and put them in the calibre library too.
