If you search for "free pdf books" there are hundreds to choose from, whether they format for free flow page turning is another matter.

Modern books for Jetbook
|
|
|
There seem to be many websites offering classics for the Jetbook but very few offering modern novels, bestsellers etc. even if one is prepared to pay for them. I would like to get Monica Ali's Brick Lane, for instance, but there is no suitable format available.
Also, I downloaded War and Peace from Project Gutenberg but the format is all over the place. Why is this, can I adjust it and if not is there another website which has it in a correct format.
I like the Jetbook but find the restriction to classic novels very frustrating The sooner Ectaco link up to a bookseller the better - that is the real advantage that both Kindle and Sony have.

Bestsellers

Green: The websites you recommend have very few bestsellers and this will remain the case unless one can buy them. The websites recommended are for free ebooks - that is those that are out of copyright or otherwise unprotected. This does not apply to bestsellers, Booker and Nobel prizewinners etc. which is what I want.
Diesel appear to offer some contemporary bestsellers for sale but try as I may I cannot get onto their website or send them a message! Anyone would think they were selling government secrets!
As things are, I am thinking of selling my Jetbook on Ebay and will wait until Kindle is available in the UK. I have checked out Sony and the lack of any search facility on their latest model is a disadvantage, although the fact that they are backed by Waterstones is good selling point. Ectaco lets itself down by not being linked to a large bookshop like Amazon or Waterstones.
