Read-Along: A Passage to India
 
Hi fellow MobileReaders.....

pilotbob and I are thinking of reading "A Passage to India" by E.M. Forster at the same time (it was listed on Time's 100 greatest list, which I posted earlier today).

I was wondering if anyone else is game? It's available on Amazon for the Kindle at the low low price of $3.95, and available as a .lit on Fictionwise for $4.58 if you're a club member.

C'mon people...it might be fun! If people are interested, we'll pick a start date....Bob and I both have books in the works that we need to finish first.

Just to be complete it's $5.69 at Sony. (phew)

"A Passage to India" was $3.95 for the Kindle..........

After the 50% rebate at Fiction and being a club member, you get it for $5.09 with the final price being $2.54 and the rest going to your micropay account.

But, I've found a legal copy for $0. I just borrowed it from my public library's eBook collection.

Nicely done. You win!

It's not about winning, it's about helping others. And now I have it on my 505 ready to start.

Even though it is only 3.95 for Kindle, I am going to grab it from Fictionwise for 5.99. I have $10.xx micropay credit so I might as well use it.

Count me in. I haven't read this one yet, but I liked Howards End and especially A Room with a View.

And it's $5.99 in BoB (minus 3.05 in reward dollars, making it $2.94 in the end). PDF, eReader and Mobipocket versions.

No, it's not in the public domain anywhere in the world.

But if you pay for it at Fictionwise using Micropay, you'll end up not getting the discount.

But why would I want to spend more cash there? Every book I've checked price for at Amazon has been more at FW. Even more than the club price many times. I just want to use up the rest of my micro pay.

I got it from FW. Used a coupon from their club promo. So I have no idea what I paid for it. I have a suspicion that it was around $300.00.
