Kindle Owners Take Note

The British Library has engaged in an agreement with Amazon to allow Kindle users to download for free some 65,000 titles from their collection of 19th-century works, many of which were out of print, but which are now in the public domain. Titles by Austen, Dickens, and the Brontës are included, as are a number of lesser-known works. Those of us without Kindles will have the ability to use Amazon’s print-on-demand capabilities through CreateSpace to purchase a print copy of the works.
This is for those of you who have a Kindle. A deal was struck deal by the British Library and Amazon to make 65,000 largely out-of-print 19th Century titles available on Amazon as free downloads for Amazon Kindle owners.
