Check out Daily Lit. The tag line is: “Too busy for books? Read them by e-mail”. You get emailed a chunk of a book per day via email.

This is a great idea. I tried it with the first chapter of The Idiot on my sidekick this morning and it was quite readable. A nice bite of literacy early in the morning.

I wish they had a larger book selection though. Why not grab all of Project GutenBerg’s books? Why not partner with publishers to get new releases? I’d bet publishers would be willing to make at least a few chapters of their books available for free – what a great way to try out a book and see if you like it.

Via Caterina.
