An unexpected source of free reading material

One of the classes I substitute taught for two days was performing "The Monsters are Due  on Maple Street" so I did a search for more information about it (after hearing it was a Twilight Zone episode). I found a pdf file of the script and emailed it as an attachment to my "@free.kindle.com" address while the Kinmdle was on wifi. Although the pdf wasn't as clear and easy to read as actual Kindle format books, it was a good way to have a copy of the script to read without killing a small tree to print it.
As for the script itself, it was interesting, especially to follow the stage direction of the original script. If one had never seen the show,one could still get a very good idea of the timing and feel of each scene and be able to visualize what it would be like enacted. I also knew exactly what to expect at the next class presentation.
