DAMN! I was going to thank you for this but now I'm just pissed.
I ordered the short story book (free) and it won't complete processing....
Okay so I think I'll order a book and it will then download. I order Chekhov, Lawrence and Tolstoy fine, but I still can't download the free book. Damnit.

Then I open the Chekhov book and check for a story I recently read (The Lady with the Dog) and it's f'n only partially there, it stops about 1/3 way in and the next story starts

Man that was a waste of $6.00!

And yes, I've emailed them....


The other thing, these collections are Huge! They take significant time to page/format/search/convert...


P.S. I Must say...THEY RESPONDED Immediately about the short story book....not sure about the missing/messed up story....which of course makes me VERY VERY leery about everything else.

PPS got a second email saying the Chekhov book was an old one and they will let me know when the correct one is uploaded.

I think I'm pretty much done with this place at this point.


I imported the Chekhov book into Calibre and converted to epub (18 mins!) but none of the TOC links (I guess they are links, they work in mobiPocket reader, but not in Calibre...not sure I'll spend any more time on this to see if they work on my Xoom or Kindle or Sony.... Sheesh!

And I see no reason to try reading these if the links don't work, way more trouble than it's worth.

Sorry to keep adding to this post, but I copied the Short Story Book (which I got! Yea!) to may Kindle and the TOC and links work there!
