Re: Subs
Greetings All,
I D/L books here for my 85yo dad and he asked if there were any books with submarines in them. I told him I would check so if anyone knows of any free down load e-pubs with subs as a subject matter please let me know. I got him some really good westerns and civil war books here, which he also loves. Problem is he reads about a book a day so he goes through them pretty quick. Thanks so much for this great resource. |

The obvious one is Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", I suppose.

Here are some choices using AddAll eBooks price comparison. Starting with free books, with a keyword of "submarine" and readable on the Sony Readers. http://ebooks.addall.com/Search/eboo...gifields=sites There may be some geographical restrictions. You may have to narrow down your search by selecting only eBook retailers in your country. |

Of course, not all books involving submarines will have the word in the title . Eg, an excellent modern one is Tom Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October".

I would recommend Patrick Robinson books, They all have a navy them and are mostly related to submarines. I have read them all and would highly recommend either Barracuda 945 or Nimitz Class. I have found all of his books highly enjoyable!
I read them all before i got my reader so don't know if you can get them for free as ebooks but i think they would worth the cost of paying. |
