Sorry about that. When I posted this in the mystery freebie and deals forum I checked the Canadian, UK, and Australian Kindle stores. I didn't notice that the AU site redirected me to back to the US store.

Bellezora please don't apologise, it's not you it's Amazon.
Please post again even if it's not avail at the good price in Aus, because it allows us to check out Kobo US for instance to see if it's being matched. |

Amazon Aus Deal of the Day
Barry Maitland Dark Mirror $2.19 Quote:
Not on special in Canada UK doesn't seem to have ebook version (odd really because Maitland's series is set in the UK and he was born in England and migrated to Aus as an adult) Edit Kobo Aus has this ebook at the extraordinarily ludicrous $21.59 Last edited by Lynx-lynx; 11-18-2013 at 04:58 PM.

When I checked just now, Amazon US has a bunch of free public domain books by Fergus Hume, including The Mystery of the Hansom Cab. Since US copyright laws are outrageously restrictive, I'd think that if they're public domain here, they would have to be public domain just about everywhere. This looks like maybe an author I'd like, although the few reviews available on Amazon US are sort of spotty. Anyway, I've already sent this one to my Android phone and will give a try - thanks lynx-lynx!
P.S. Project Gutenberg has a bunch too... |

There are a bunch of Fergus Hume books here at MR in the Patricia Clark Memorial Library too - uploaded by Patricia herself, so they must have good quality formatting.

They're definitely all in the public domain in Aus, he died in 1932. I put both the Amazon and Kobo references because I was unsure as to how well the books were formatted - but sqdancer has the better idea!! |
