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...
Thank you Sufue

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!!
