  • anything by William Faulkner
  • anything by John Steinbeck
  • Catch-22
  • Darkness at Noon
  • Under the Volcano
  • I, Claudius
  • A Passage to India
  • The Lord of the Rings
  • To Kill a Mockingbird
  • The Catcher in the Rye
  • Animal Farm
  • most books by John Irving

...and many others. I guess this is just a problem with e-books in general, but I hope this situation improves!
I counted ten of John Steinbeck's novels available for the Kindle in the Kindle Store today. So .... how did you manage to come up with zero?? Maybe the search needs to be done again??? Just saying ....


ERG!!! I just realized how OLD the original post was. OLD .... ancient .... dusty!! Yes, by all means, do the search again. There are things that are still missing, but there are quite a few things on your list starting to crop up. (I think all of the John Steinbeck has a Kindle edition date of June 24, 2008.)
