Great Expectations

Honestly, I have always had a special place in my heart for the Dickens classic. Upon finding it on Kindle, I was a little too excited to re-read the story of Pip (despite how sad it is in some parts). What’s always intrigued me is how this story was brought to the public via serials.

    You can pretty much eBook anything using Calibre eBook Management at:

    http://calibre-ebook.com/

    If you don't like the book covers at gutenberg.com, changing them in Calibre using online searches is a snap.

    Works with mobi and epub.

    It has a bit of a learning curve but it may be worth it.

    Its really odd that this offer is only available in the US Amazon considering the age of these books, you'd think this offer would be on the UK Amazon site as well. So I guess Ill head to gutenberg for these. Thanks Amazon...

      Seems odd. I'm located in America, so I didn't even think to check. My apologies. However, if Project Gutenburg has it, that's pretty great. Thanks for letting me know!

    I use EReader News Today for my free kindle books. They post anywhere from 3 to 8 or 9 at a time. All different types - including cookbooks and kids/young teen books. On a really good day, they will post 4 or 5 times with multiple choices. Another good service is Pixel of Ink. Give them a try. I'm never at loss for something to read.
