I havent had time to go through them all but many appear to be titles well out of copyright - Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens etc. But is that any indication when I think you can also buy these titles from ebook retailers such as Amazon??? How on earth do I tell if a .mobi file has been DRM stripped?

I don't think you can tell, unless you find it for sale and not available in public domain, but that would be a total pain to try and determine. I say just so with the flow. It does sound, from the ones you named that they are likely public domain titles.

Enjoy!
