Good idea. Thanks!

So far I have gotten Le Petit Prince completed. I found an HTML version here:

http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0300771h.html

Calibre did a good job of converting that downloaded HTML into EPUB/AZW3 (with a little manual editing to clean things up). I checked this with Calibre's internal viewer and it looked great. I haven't tried sideloading it to a Kindle yet. I'm assuming a Kindle will display French text just fine though. But I've never tried that. Maybe there will be some issue with fonts or something, I don't know. We'll see when I get around to testing it.

And I was able to download the individual MP3 files for each chapter of this book from the link that @Comfy.n mentioned. I then turned those into an audiobook for playback on my daughters MP3 player or by the Smart Audiobook Player app on her Android phone.
