Where can I get french ebooks (from germany)?
Hi,
I would love to read french ebooks on my ebook reader and I am capable of reading mobi or epub format (after conversions). Can you recommend any ebook shops where I can get french ebooks? I have a german address with a german credit card. So I do not want to struggle with any local restrictions. Thanks and best regards, Jens |

Thanks for the link, Bill. I already purchased a book from fnac. Although I have to say that french ebooks are VERY expensive compared to the US amazon kindle store ...

Yeap. Our idiots publishers still haven't realized they needed to index e-book prices on paperback if paperback is out.

Actually, French p-book prices are generally quite a bit higher than elsewhere, particularly the English speaking countries. Doesn't help that the publishing industry here is protected by that law prohibiting discounts of more than 5% on publisher established prices.

You may want to check "http://www.ebooksgratuits.com/" for the big selection of classical (public domain) works.
