Thumbs up Lord of the Rings Now Available! KINDLE, EPUB, PDF, LIT, and MOBI
Yep, they're legit!

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/se...R.R.%20Tolkien

On Harper Collins in EPUB, PDF, LIT, and MOBI:
The Trilogy
Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King

The Hobbit
The Children of Húrin

Unfortunately the "trilogy" book is not yet available on Amazon. Harper Collins site says all the books will be available on April 20. EDIT: It is now.

EDIT: They are also available on Fictionwise with a 100% credit.

I'm trying to find the ebooks in the Harper Collins website to make sure they're legit.

There's no reason to think that Harper Collins has the ebook rights. I honestly don't know.

It's for real.

Here's the whole list of books from the HarperCollins site for those without Kindles.

The publisher is listed as HarperCollins e-books.

The second link in post #1 is broken. Not a good idea to have a broken link on a frontpage article.

I got The Hobbit on my Kindle. It's well made, and includes the maps.

I'd also be interested to know if the appendices are included, complete with the images?

And also the images that are sprinkled throughout the text, like Gandalf's rune, the ring text, and the doors of Moria?

Sorry, it worked for me. I had no idea this was being frontpaged. The first post has been edited (and edited again by me).

Any link to their site will be automatically broken, because each visitor receives "personalized" page address with a long ID string.
But they DO list individual parts of the trilogy as well as the entire trilogy ($23.19) bundle.
