Preferably in EPUB format, but I am willing to convert from Mobi.

I love Christie, and I've been holding off buying the eBooks because last time I looked on the official website they were so darn expensive for what they are! Now, I'm willing to reconsider.

What do you feel is a fair price for a Christie novel (electronic)?

I baulk at paying so much for a dead person's work. Especially if they have been dead for some time and somebody else - thanks to inane copyright laws - is profiteering from their work.

I recently bought Lolita (£4.50-ish) - despite not owning a Kindle (I stripped the DRM and converted to Mobi), and despite Nabokov resting in peace somewhere - because I wanted to be sure of the quality. I didn't want some murky, poor, typo-ridden document acquired from the dark corners of the interwebz spoiling my experience.

Ahem. So yeah, if anybody can point me in the direction of Christie novels - please do!

P.S. I want to read her work in chronological order.

P.P.S. Thanks!
