I have an ebook of 1984, but you have to read it with a GameBoy or an emulator. Hahah. I'm currently reading LOTR from the emulator. The things I would do, huh? :)

you cheapskate. 1984 wouldn't cost you more than 300 bucks. :P

can't you print it out na lang? or that would cost you more than the actual books?
