dailylit.jpgWaiting on a client? Stuck in line at the post office? Why not read a good book to pass the time? DailyLit sends commercial and public-domain books via e-mail, one easily digestible section per day, thus allowing you to read on your phone, BlackBerry, PDA, or just about any other portable device. The service offers several hundred titles; all you do is choose one, then specify how frequently you want to receive installments: daily, weekdays only, or Monday/Wednesday/Friday. You can even specify the time of day the e-mails should arrive.

Most DailyLit books are free of charge, but some will set you back a few bucks. Even then, it’s a great way to enjoy a little leisure reading (or the site’s handful of business titles) anytime, anywhere.

Got a tech dilemma? We're here to help.
