I use Stanza which has a ton of free books and uses Project Gutenberg which digitizes copyright expired books by volunteers. Nook also offers some free books and some low priced books.
I believe both ereaders are free from iTunes.

some good titles, but only a handful available every month (or week), no
catalog. Another couple were filled with advertisements, and nothing for
free.
I've thought that there's a ton of classic, public domain, and other books
out there. Am I wrong? Are there apps or websites for this? (I don't need to
organize or modify or even get book cover images.)>>

Another application that you could try is the free OverDrive Media Console.
You can download library books (audio & ebooks) directly to your iOS
device. I've used it for a couple of weeks now and for the most part it
works well. The cons are that the selection of books are currently very
limited (in my area), availability (you have to go into a queue), and the
process of getting a book can be a bit cumbersome. Other than that the app
works fine. :) Oh yeah, except for the part where the audio book portion
frequently jumps back a bit when relaunching the app. A work around is to
book mark your location.
Reading back through this paragraph it doesn't sound like a ringing
endorsement for the application but I find it's definitely worth trying out
because it works as a nice supplement to my other ereaders.

I use the free download service of all the latest greatest and classic audiobooks of my local library. I don't know where you live but if it is in the USA this service is free and wonderful.
I've just spent 2 days filling my new shiny red iPod nano with loads of audiobooks, everything from Patricia Cornwell to Terry Hatchett!!

Look at the belt cases made by Mophie for this purpose. There are three of slightly different styles numbered as 5000, 5500, and 6000. I have used the 5000 for over a year and a half and love it. It has a magnetic closure that keeps it closed even when the whole case/phone/JuicePackAir is dropped (done this several times). Just decide which of the three styles you or he prefers.

Also. I have found best buy has a great selection on oversized belt carriers.
I say oversized cause I has the plastic shell on my 3G and normal iPhone belt holders were too small.
Best buy had more

My public library offers access to free downloads via R.E.A.D.S. You need to have a library card but you can download a goodly number of audio books from them. The download remains available for two weeks, then is "returned." You can redownload for another two weeks.
I'd check with your local library.

Podcast Download goes Where?
Posted by: "Richard E Johnson, MD" RECMSOJ@OnlineOK.com recmsoj
Thu Jan 20, 2011 6:23 pm (PST)
I just downloaded the first podcast of my life, the first episode of Freakonomics, and it seemed to download fine, directly to my iPad. However, now I can't find it! I go to iPod and it shows no Podcasts, and it says both "Syncing" as we as "Cancelling Sync". What would it be syncing (I'm on 3G and WiFi at home), and where is the downloaded Podcast?
Thanks,
Dick Johnson

The Continuously Dying iPhone 3GS
Posted by: "jiminmanjr" jiminmanjr@yahoo.com jiminmanjr

I think it's time to start digging the hole.
My iPhone is about 18 months old. For the past couple months, it seems as though the battery is running shorter and shorter. I put my phone on the charger before bed, so I start the day at 100%. Throughout the workday, I have it on radio player that charges the phone.
Lately, though, I'll come home at 5:30 p.m. and have 100% charge on the phone... later on, it will be down around 90%... I'll play a few games, get on the web, etc... and anywhere from 34% to 58% (tonight), it dies on me.
Power on, takes longer than normal, and then back on.
For about ten seconds.
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
I have tried letting it sit while dead for several hours, hoping to calibrate the battery. I've tried the double-home-click to close all the apps. I've tried many things, but nothing seems to help.
So, is it time to call the family in for the funeral service??

A friend of mine had that issue. She had never backed it up.
Took to apple store. They did restore and battery life got better
Not sure how. But that worked.
