You remember them, they are those things that cavemen used before they invented fire and iPads.

Wikisource is an online library of free content publications collected and maintained by the community
They got some out of print stuff, hard to find stuff, and stuff you just dont wanna pay for.

might be cool if you can deal with reading from a screen.
or have the printer ink to spare.

That's cool. And I'd kinda like one of those portable text reader things. I hate reading off a screen but I don't like wasting paper either.

I'd known about e-paper for a while now.
but I had no idea such things were already on the market.
I found one that looks nice, and I think I'd like one.
but $350 bucks is a bit much to ask I think.

all the info Id seen before had said e-paper and such was supposed to be really cheap.

It probably is cheaper in manufacturing terms than printing many books on paper but the company making the devices doesn't actually sell the books you read on them so they don't make any money back that way.
