Is there anywhere to read Redwall online? I don't always have time to go buy new books, but I'm always wanting a new one!

All the redwall books you need. :)
No online (legal) methods that I know of. You can order books off Amazon though (the paperbacks are real cheap, $6 or $7), have them delivered to your house. Or buy e-book versions from the Kindle store if you have an Amazon Kindle.
You can read from electronically using a Kindle, but that's the limit.
Supposedly there's a program for the computer that takes Kindle downloads; I remember Amazon trying to get me to download it and try it out. Still would have to pay for the book, and I don't know many that can stare at a computer screen for hours like that.
It's easy to torrent the copies but it's horrid to read. There giant 100mb PDF's. I read books because I won't to get of this PC and almost all libraries have Redwall books, if they don't you can ask them to request it for you (from a different location, there's normally a charge of like £0.99, but that really is nothing). Trust me reading books from a PC screen, takes away all the comfort. And you'd probably get a book from a library faster than attempting to download it.
I prefer, to get the book and sit in a sofa or in my bed and read it. Plus having to scroll through hundreds of pages on a single PDF is all the more annoying.
I agree with Astral.
I always get headaches if I stare at a screen for a number of hours. I can't read a book under those circumstances.
And then there's Borders. *sniff*
I'm annoyed, they're closing because apparently "EVERYONE" is using the Kindle.
I don't have the time (and for that matter, the money) to use one of those things.
My mother apparently loves her Kindle. Can't say I'd ever buy one or use one. I have too many "hard" copies of books I haven't even read yet.
Everybody I know with a Kindle likes it, but I actually enjoy having the physical book in my hand. Maybe if it were a text book I'd be more open to the idea, but as it is this user doesn't see the point in a battery powered book.
ToR, you say Borders is closing due to the Kindle? I wanted to cry when I read about their dilemma, but.... okay, I suddenly despise that kindle doohickey. A lot. >:(
The economy can be somewhat responsible, but yeah, eBooks are "everything" now.
I have a kindle. I do prefer real books, but I live in Japan at the moment and if I'd kept buying books I wouldn't have been able to get them home. I know I can leave them here, but I get rather attached to my books and like to re-read them. I love the kindle for travelling and for situations like mine, but I still prefer the real thing. I love the smell of books. If I ever get my own house I want a library. ;D
Real book are way better then e-books or whatever they are called. Going to the library, trying to decide which book to get next. People looking at you because you picked a very big book. Holding the book close to you on your way out. I love real books. It's just a different feel then a screen.

Yeah, very true. I love going to the library or bookstore and doing that.
It's actually one of my favorite things to go and do, now I think about it.

I used to hang out in book stores when I was younger. My parents owned a shop so when I was stuck there with them I'd go to the book store and browse. I still like to do that!

Quoted because I do, too. Poor Borders. :c
And I didn't think of the easier transportation reason - there is a real use to ebooks after all! :)
My personal library currently occupies a 3-shelf and a 5-shelf bookcase.
Yeah, I like books. >.>
My hand luggage used to be full of books when I travelled, but now all I need is my kindle. They do have their uses, but I think it's really sad that the book stores are going out of business.
I'm waiting for them to release a waterproof kindle so I can read at the beach. That would be eeeeeexcellent.

My personal library is packed away in boxes. :'( My old bedroom used to resemble a library though.
I hate reading e-books. :P None of my family own a Kindle. I can't say I would like one. I like to read off paper. ;D
None of my family own a kindle either. I really like having a real book but I can see how the kindle can be useful for traveling as Tiria says. The e-books are also cheaper than real books and do not take room to store, but for now I'll stick with real books.

Yea, but at least you get to read a great Redwall book!

The proper ebook readers like the Kindle use a different screen technology that many people say is easy to read than a computer screen or an iPad.
I doubt that real books are going to disappear any time soon, although some new titles may eventually not be printed.
Although they are difficult to find, vinyl records (kids, ask your parents) never completely disappeared when CDs and then MP3 downloads started up. A few bands still produce vinyl versions of their albums, and there was an article in the newspaper here near the end of last year that said vinyl records are making a bit of a comeback.

Ha, I have a record player and a bunch of records, and I'm certainly not a parent. XD I like them, the sound quality is fantastic, much better than CDs and iPods (though I still own both).
As for books, I agree that I much prefer the feel of a book. I have way too many books, and now that we're moving I don't know how I'm going to pack them all...
Books are better but I did find this place where you can read Mossflower.

It's not very good but seeing as this country doesnt have Redwall books-and neither do I well it's all Redwall.
I'm not sure if it's legal and I don't reccomend it-but it's there.
Doesn't look legal to me.
We've compiled a list of every available ebook source for Redwall. Purchase away, folks.
