Whose Body has been in the PD for a while already, so texts of it are easy to find. we have it here in fact. but it's the only one i've found so far. i'm hoping for the others.
thanks for the audio info. |

Hmm, Would love to See Agatha Christies Full catalog available as ebooks. Currently only 2 that are out of copyright are available.
Same for Enid Blyton's collection. I grew up reading them and would love to reread them if they were easily and cheaply available as ebooks. |

Duh Just realised that I was searching the Title on Fictionwise, and as such was not seeing all the books.
But I still have to say that I wish the price were a little better. I Already own Paperback copies of most if not all, as well as Hardbacks of my favourites. And As I Purchased them in India, The Price of the Ebook version is equal to if not more then what I originally paid for the hardbacks (UK Editions, priced cheaper ) |

Really, how much "better" would you like the price to be? HarperCollins (the UK publisher of Agatha Christie) do seem to be pretty good with prices for their eBooks. |

All the old 'Point Fantasy' books that I read growing up that seem to be hard to come by even as paperbooks these days; stuff like 'Brog the Stoop', 'Dragon Search' & 'Dragonsbane' etc. And Deric Longden's 'The Cat Who Came in from the Cold' (some of which may be available, I'm only just starting to look at wishlists)

Like the original poster I am a big fan of Latin American literature and would love to see some Vargas Llosa & Garcia Marquez available in ebook format. Would also love to see the Edith Grossman translation of Don Quixote.

Seriously, a Nobel Prize winner in Literature and very little available as an ebook??!! ...and Vargas Llossa, also a major contender for the Nobel...but moving beyond awards and critical perception, these two authors speak to generations of readers; they invite participation from their readers; and they celebrate the joys and damnations of life.

Forgot the most obvious one!
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with a function that makes your reader display 'Don't Panic' when it powers up! (used to have that on an old palmtop) |
