thx


Hi, and welcome to MobileRead.

Because of the nature of what's available in the Public Domain, many of the books available here on this site are Classics.

Off the top of my head, I can certainly recommend many of the titles that I and Harry have worked on. When you say "book," I'm assuming you mean authors, as opposed to titles.

Some of the authors available here are these:

Virginia Woolf
Thomas Wolfe
Charles Dickens
Anthony Trollope
Balzac
AND HUNDREDS MORE


I understand your dilemma. You have two Readers and you are owed 150 free Classics from Sony Connect.

Compare the list here (I beleive the list is downloadable in order to check titles/authors) with what's available from Connect.

There are many titles here that Connect does not have; conversely, there are many titles from Connect that are not available here - YET! We work out of passion; we don't get paid. There are also requests many of us here try to fulill. Don't hesitate to ask.

Getting back to your 150 books you're entitled to: Look at your reading habits and who you like to read. Pehaps there are authors from your past that you've enjoyed. Perhaps you want to experiment with an author. Go to a web site and locate the book and/or information about that book to see if it sounds interesting.

By all means, though, have fun with your two Readers. One hundred fifty books is a lot of reading. Enjoy the Readers and your choices.

If you have a specific question about a book or author, ask and most here will be happy to offer opinions. I might also add that when most of us here do an upload, we supply interesting information that is often fun to read and informative as well.

I hope some of this helps.
