I'm looking for some classics for free... I never read any classics, so I thought it was time to read some of them once I get my Kindle...
The Arabian Nights 16 Books I believe?
Huckleberry Fin
Tom Sawyer
Robin Hood
Kind Arthur
And other classic titles....
I saw some of these on Amazon for free however they are in parts... Part 1, Part 2 and so on... Which leads me to believe they are not full books....

In particular check the guttenberg and mobileread links. Here is the list at mobilread for the mobi/prc format which works on the Kindle. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/ebooks.php?forumid=128 |

"Authors get the most publicity at launch and need to strike while the iron is hot. If readers can't get their preferred format at that moment, they may buy a different book or just not buy a book at all." - An Amazon spokesman.
“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. 40% percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.” - S. Jobs

CK, your first two sites are not on the list that I have in my previous link. I'm going to tell Ann, since Betsy is on her way to Montana, so she can add them. Thanks.

Ack, I should have checked the link first. Mea culpa.  Bartleby is a fabulous resource. Anyone who hasn't given it a look should! CK |

Sorry, sorry, sorry. My only excuse is it was past my bedtime. But that's not even a good excuse. Dear mother of Betsy, please forgive me.

Betsy, my grandparents loved polka, and I am not opposed to a few good polka songs. So if she intends it as punishment that's not going to work. deb |
