The name of the rose
Hi everyone,

I am not sure if this is the best forum to post my question in, but I am looking for an ebook store that sells "The name of the rose" by Umberto Eco. I am based in the UK and I use a Sony 505.
I did search a couple of ebook stores, but couldn't find any online store that would sell me the ebook. Any help on where I can buy this story as an ebook (or how I could get hold of it elsewhere) would be very much appreciated!
Many thanks
Robert

My wife's presently reading a paper copy; when she started I looked all over and could never find a copy for my PRS-700.

I don't believe it's available as a legal eBook. I'd love to have it, too.

What I do is scan the pback using my ScanSnap. Then read the book while formatting and editing at the same time on my laptop. When I'm done with the first "read", I'll have a copy for the next time. Also, since my kids have access to my "old" Sony-500, they can read those books, too.

But, I admit, my list of titles that I want to scan is long, I always check to see if there is a legal ebook to buy. For instance, I'll buy Lord of the Rings instead of scanning even though the "book loan" process is cumbersome on the Sony 505 because I really want a well formatted book with the maps.

[Deleted] lends his ebooks, and there's this book !
It's the way I came to be able to read again "The Door into Summer"...


Moderator comment:

Please don't link to illegal book sites. That site does not legally "lend" books - it is an illegal download site. Thanks.

Burgomeister is not legal.
So you can name him, not directly link to his site.

Aw, really? I have been tempted by some of his titles.

Too bad, but maybe the upside of the "illegals" is that it'll spur the publishers to get more of their books out there legally.

Burgomeister certainly is not legal and does, in fact constitute piracy, even if they treat us to the BS that you only get to "borrow" books, etc. We at MobileRead strongly advise not frequenting sites such as that and certainly discourage all forms of piracy.

I too just bought the paper copy of "The Name of the Rose" (and the companion key book) and I'm 1/3 through it. Good book!
