Ce carti electronice romanesti v-ati dori ?

Dragi cititori,

Spuneti ce carti v-ati dori si poate ca pot sa va convertesc. Nu promit, dar o sa incerc (depinde daca gasesc textul cartii undeva pe net).

Conditiile ar fi:


- autorul sa fi trait inainte de al doilea razboi mondial (pana cel tarziu in 1940) ca sa fie deja in domeniul public (adica sa ii fi expirat copyright-ul), ca sa fie totul legal.
- sa nu fie poezie (inclusiv teatru in versuri) ca apar unele complicatii la conversie.

Altfel, sper ca ati petrecut si petreceti inca sarbatori frumoase de Pasti - ne reintalnim dupa sarbatori.

Carti gratuite in Kindle Store, gratis si din Romania

Post dedicat actualilor sau viitorilor posesori de Kindle.

Multe carti vechi, in special cele clasice, sunt gratis in Amazon Kindle Store, dar cele mai multe dintre ele numai pentru americani; in Romania ele costa 2.30 $ dupa cum observa un posesor de Kindle, Marian Buhnici:

Aveti grija: Sunt anumite carti cu $0.00 pe Amazon dar defapt pentru Romania costa $2.30 datorita anumitor legi pe care Amazon trebuie sa le respecte pentru fiecare tara. Totdeauna verificati pretul din pagina produsului, nu in listele de produse. Asa se vede diferenta de pret. Singura carte de $0.00 pe care am gasit-o eu e Alice in Wonderland. Daca ati mai gasit voi alta, va rog sa imi spuneti.

Totusi, cautand cu multa rabdare, atentie si perseverenta, gasesti printre ele, in Kindle Store, destule carti care sunt gratis ( $0.00 ) si  in Romania. De exemplu:
