Huh. Did not know that. I thought both she and the work were older than that, for some reason.
She was rather like Agatha Christie. Started writing early, and lived a long life. "Rebecca" was published in 1938.

Some more that I would throw in are
E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensman series (classic space opera)
Some of Fredrick Forsyth's books (Day of the Jackel is out, but Dogs of War and Odessa File are not)
Alistair MacLean (Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra, Where Eagles Dare and a bunch of others)

Looks as though all of Frederick Forsyth's and Alistair Maclean's books are available in the UK Kindle Store.

Dame Daphne Du Maurier died in 1989, so no, it's very definitely not "public domain", and won't be for a very, very long time.
A book of short stories by Du Maurier, entitled The Doll, was recently published as an e-book, so maybe that is the beginning of her works being digitized--I'd like to think so, at least.

amazon.co.uk seem to have a few:

The Breaking Point
The Doll
The Loving Spirit
Castle Dor
I'll Never Be Young Again
The Du Mauriers
Julius

... and a few more, but none of the well-known ones like Rebecca, Jamaica Inn, etc.

Triplanetary is available from Project Gutenberg. None of the others are though.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown is one of the books on my "Want It" list, but it's not available as an ebook either.

No Great Mischief (Amazon) by Alistair MacLeod. A fantastic novel that I would love to read again, if only it were available digitally.

No, just trying to help you. You said you wanted these ebooks; they are available. It's not difficult to buy books that aren't officially available in your country; people outside the US have had to do so for a long time.

No, it's not. At least, not legally.
