  • anything by William Faulkner
  • anything by John Steinbeck
  • Catch-22
  • Darkness at Noon
  • Under the Volcano
  • I, Claudius
  • A Passage to India
  • The Lord of the Rings
  • To Kill a Mockingbird
  • The Catcher in the Rye
  • Animal Farm
  • most books by John Irving

...and many others. I guess this is just a problem with e-books in general, but I hope this situation improves!

You need to check again. Amazon.com, under Kindle books, has John Steinbeck, Animal Farm, A couple by John Irving. Now, if you are talking 'free', thats another matter.
