Lots and lots of stuff is now in the web as Ebooks. All sorts of pulp fiction from the 1930's is out of copyright and up on the web for free. I have been building up a collection of Edgar Rice Burroughs and EE Smith stuff. The E-book format supports illustrations. The Ebooks mostly come with the original dust jacket art, or the original magazine art. If you are into old things, free ebooks are there, where as used book stores are gradually disappearing. Google will find anything, just search on the title or author and "ebook. Ebooks may be your chance to read that favorite childhood book that you haven't been able to find in stores anymore.
You don't need to buy an e-reader (Kindle, Nook, or iPad or tablet) to enjoy the goldie oldies. An ordinary desktop or laptop will play them just fine. You can download a reader program free of charge. In fact you have a choice of reader programs and there are on line reviews of them. There are several e-book formats, of which the .epub format is very common. You can find a reader program for any format.
