What's got me a bit stymied is that virtually everything I'd like to nominate is over $10 in $CAUS, but only £4.99 in the UK and depending on your library, available at OD. I don't know if those options are enough for people to go on with. It seems most of us have pretty good libraries, but that doesn't mean everyone does.

It's clear that the place to be to buy ebooks right now is the UK. I've got a long wishlist of books too rich for my blood here, but under £5 in the UK or roughly US$6.50.

How do we feel about length? I've got one contender that I'd nudge into action, but it's 500 pages. Too much?

Then there are the PD options and some very obvious ones, especially, to my mind, Wuthering Heights and Huckleberry Finn. My sense is that we prefer something at least a little more contemporary, at least as to publication if not subject matter.
