Modern Poetry EBOOK Where to Find?
I find that there are almost none in AZW, EPUB, MOBI, etc.
Not even in Amazon.

For example works of:

1. C. Milosz
2. J. Brodsky
3. W.H. Auden.
4. W. Szymborska.

Any suggestion?

Getting poetry onto ereaders has been problematical - if you want the lines to display correctly and still be in a readable sized font - with 6" screen devices - even in landscape mode. Which was one of the main reasons I shelled out for a DXG - to finally be able to read Whitman, Shakespeare, Eliot, etc. with the original line breaks and appearance on the page - as on the original paper page. Tablets now offer the possibility of "large screen" reading at more affordable prices - which may jump start publishers into finally offering poetry as ebooks.

I find that if I select a shorter meter I can write to fit an ereader screen.
Why not assemble your own poetry book in Sigil with narrow stanzas as a selection criteria?
