12 Years a Slave was available for me, but the others were not. That's from the U.S. Any other U.S. customers having an issue with this?
Thanks for the links, love2readca. Edited to add that 12 Years a Slave also has not download button in my library, but it shows as available in my Kobo app on my iPad. Must be one of those quirky Kobo things where they won't let you download to a different app. Last edited by 49Kat; 03-18-2014 at 10:19 PM. |

I believe 1984 and Animal Farm are in public domain for the listed countries. They are not in the US.
12 Years a Slave: It's probably a kepub. |

The same publisher also has C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe free.
Edit: Just realised these are all now in the public domain, so the whole series is available free at Gutenberg. Last edited by GeoffR; 03-18-2014 at 10:53 PM. |

In the US, 12 Years a Slave is a freebie at Feedbooks, and Orwell's books are freebies at ebooks.Adelaide.edu.
