Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Take of 2 cities and Alice wonderland not free anymore
How that even possible, Carroll's been dead for over 100 years, and Dickens died 150 years ago. Everything they've ever written is in the public domain.
Lol being negged for just stating the fact. Those 2 Amazon links are $2.x
So? People can still charge you for it, especially if they've taken the effort of compiling it into a downloadable e-book.
How'd y'all feel if I repackaged it into a downloadable e-book, published it on the Kindle store, then made it free for 24 hours and posted a link to it?
@AustriaBargain: People would be cheated if it was free or people would be cheated if they had to pay for it?
@TruthNuke: I never said anything about people being cheated. I'm talking about people feeling cheated. So to answer your question, your question is not applicable to what I said.
@TruthNuke: Publishing something for money that’s already available for free, I have a feeling it’d bring about sour feelings in some people.
@AustriaBargain: Why would people feel aggrieved if they can get it for free from elsewhere?
And just because the copyright has expired, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's readily available in the public domain.
People still have to expend time and/or money for it to reach the "readily available" stage and it's rightly up to them whether or not they decide to charge money for their effort.
@AustriaBargain: Maybe if those people are under the false impression that everything produced from material in the public domain has to be free and that we live in a magical world where the instant a book's copyright expires, the internet is at once flooded with free EPUB, AZW and MOBI files that are already edited and formatted, and all paperback novels are printed using free ink and free paper and free printers and are distributed for free so that nobody has the right to be compensated for their time or expenditures from the arduous task of making this miracle occur.
Also Les Miserables and Moby Dick now no longer free.
Noob question but how do you download US kindle books if you have an Oz account?
Sort of answering what you've asked, just change the URL of the book from amazon.com to amazon.com.au and buy it (it should be free on the Oz store too - make sure you check)
e.g.
The US Link: https://www.amazon.com/Phantom-Opera-Gaston-Leroux-ebook/dp/…
The Oz/Au Link: https://www.amazon.com.au/Phantom-Opera-Gaston-Leroux-ebook/…
What are the advantages of a US account?
You could spend my affiliate vouchers for US Amazon from before I set up a us bank account.
The first title always reminds me of the Monty Python “Bookshop” sketch ;)
Nice, grabbed one
Moby Dick and a couple of others not working for me on AU.
