French translations for US market

Jerboa · 09-24-2009, 02:57 PM

Hi. I hope this is the right place for this question.

I just bought my first ereader, the Sony PRS-300. I would like to find books in languages other than English though. Specifically English bestsellers that have been translated into French(Dan Brown, Ludlam, Grissom, etc.). Does anyone have a suggestion where to look that is usable from the US market?

Hi, welcome to the ereader community

For French books from well-known English-speaking authors I suggest you try http://www.ebooks-gratuit.com/ I found quite a few good ones there.

Hello, and welcome! Congratulations on your new Reader.

For French books, you can try the classic fnac.com or Numilog. Project Gutemberg has a number of them, and the same goes for ManyBooks and I believe also FeedBooks.

For more, there's this link in the French section of this forum.

This site seems to be distributing copyrighted translations illegally. Maybe you were referring to www.ebooksgratuits.com, an entirely different site that legally offers public domain ebooks (like project gutenberg).

Sorry about that, I wrote the url from memory (old age will do this to you)!
