I'm taking the plunge and getting a Sony E-reader. I figure it'll help me do research while I nurse my broken leg. Does anyone know of any free ebooks that might help me? Especially on the subjects of:
Caribbean piracy
Smuggling
General nautical stuff, civilian or military
Farming in rural England
Commerial fishing in the Caribbean
Queen Anne's War, especially the Caribbean theater
Period names and/or genealogical stuff, especially Irish, Scottish, Spanish, and Welsh
Period slang, especially English
(language)/English dictionaries
Caribbean natural history, especially in the area of Jamaica and Haiti
These need to cover the 17th-18th Centuries, especially in the 1680-1730 range, though they don't have to be written/published during that time. If you can think of anything else that might be of use, go ahead and suggest it. If you don't know if something has an ebook version, suggest it anyway and I'll look for it. Thanks!

May I blame it on the Oxicodone?
