Lost my 100 free books Kobo Original N416

Hey, Sarah. Your request intrigued me, so I went on the hunt. Your first problem is that this bundle was offered in 2010. I found mostly caustic comments online because the 100 free classics were in the public domain, but somebody did mention that there was a link to download the books. I haven’t found that yet, but in the meantime, I found this—a list of the 100 books in question on Kobo’s site from 2010 in the way back machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20100503...ee-ebooks.html

Update: I found an old forum post here (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=254119) with helpful lists, and even a link to 50 of the books. (Use this working archive.org link instead: https://web.archive.org/web/20100329...ub-format.html)

At this point, I am ready to concede that there are an infinite amount of requests for a zip file of the 100 free books out there in the deep web, and there are lists of the books in question, but nobody put together a file of all of the books since they are available on Project Gutenberg.
