Robert A. Heinlein where to find good ebook formats
Hi, I'd like to introduce my 14 year old to Robert Heinlein's stories. Can anyone recommend good ebook editions, formats? Our space is currently limited, so they need to be readable on the computer. Thank you.

Amazon has several of his books, by downloading the Kindle4pc app (free) they can be read on the computer, no device needed.

Also, check your local library for ebooks availability.
I've seen Stranger in a Strange Land, Podkane of Mars, on Overdrive. |

I'm hoping that Baen will soon release my favourite Heinlein, "Space Cadet". It's not currently available as a legal eBook anywhere, alas.

Hi
Fictionwise (http://www.fictionwise.com) has 7 of Heinlein’s books in several formats, just access the URL and search by “Heinlein in the author option (top left of the page). Best regards, |

Thank you, everyone! This should keep him busy for awhile.
If I had a hardbook library, I would have Heinlein and Dick Francis and Jane Austen and.... but I don't have a room and bookshelves big enough! |

You do understand that you're posting to a thread that is 5 1/2 years old? You do understand this, don't you? And that the 14 year-old referenced in post #1 is now 20 or 21 years old? Don (Moderator) |
