  Anyone wanting to read Thoreau but finding Walden a bit long might consider reading Civil Disobedience instead, or first. It's short, can be downloaded in many places as text or audio - easy listening in the car or on the train over a few short trips. Highly influential on some big names including Mahatma Gandhi and MLK Jr.

  All of these books are available all of the time for free from Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.org), even with EPUB and Kindle Mobi editions, and a click to Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, etc. They also credit the original translators since Marcus Aurelius was, quite famously, shit at writing in English. Many of these Amazon links are just chancers that take the Mobi files from Project Gutenberg, rip out the credits, and then have the hide to try to charge money for it. I keep thinking everyone knows that, but these posts appear so frequently.

    "Many of these Amazon links are just chancers that take the Mobi files from Project Gutenberg, rip out the credits"

    or alternatively stick with PG's unformatted texts…

    Personally, I prefer mine with formatting, index etc. (not all case, but for the most part in my experience)…

    "Marcus Aurelius was, quite famously, shit at writing in English." Yeah but his Latin was a real treat :p

    pax vobiscum :)

      I've downloaded a lot of Kindle books from Amazon and PG and the Amazon eBooks are almost, without failure, better than the PG books.
      I'd take a free 'Amazon Classics' eBook over its free PG version every day of the week.
      Hence why this is a deal and why everyone mentioning Project Gutenberg in every one of these posts is starting to become annoying. We get it.

      How do you know what Marcus' Latin was like? The Meditations were written in Greek

  My introduction to Walden was a highly condensed version reproduced in a regular monthly Reader's Digest magazine long ago. Seeing this post, I had a look online, and think I found it here, for anyone who wants an essence of the book – Condensed Walden.
