When I first got an ereader, I downloaded them from Project Guttenberg and gave them a good, honest read. They didn't seem all that aged to me and I thoroughly enjoyed them for being simple and straightforward. The swashbuckling scenes especially were a lot of fun. Since we are talking pulp sci-fi and easy reads, if you never have, see if you can find any Tom Swift novels. You can usually pick one up at an atique shop for about $10-$20. They're not what I would call good, but they definitely carry a feel for the time they were written in. Edit: I haven't read any Tarzan or Doc Savage, but I might seek them.out if you think they're worthwhile.
