PapalEncyclicals.net FYI (eReader related)
From the PapalEncyclicals announcement list:
“With the help of a dedicated volunteer, who has been working hard converting the encyclicals to eReader formats, the Papal Encyclicals Online now has hundreds of papal encyclicals in both MOBI and EPUB formats.
