A search for Arthur C Clarke on Kobo returns 53 results (in English). 56 if not filtered for English language.

For US residents Kobo offers only 2 titles.

Nah, we're going to have to wait a lot longer for that. The only Stand on Zanzibar I know of was written by John Brunner, but of course you already knew that

In the UK, we only have the first book - 2001 - available to buy.

But on a plus note, the entire Rama series is available, and as a single onmibus edition now.

But as the OP doesn't provide a location then the Kobo info may be useful to him/her.

I have several of his books in epub format: Space Odyssey series, the Time Odyssey series, Fountains of Paradise and Childhood's End. I can send them to anyone who wants them - if that's allowed. You might also want to check out the Internet Archive. Some of Clarke's work is there as audio files, including him reading his own work.

HarryT · 08-26-2012, 11:50 AM

Don't be ridiculous - of course it's not allowed to send people copyrighted books. You should know better than to even ask.

I used that system and discovered that gift cards on US Amazon lasts for ever, but have a one year limitation on UK Amazon. Wonder why?

I'm so sorry, but I am new to this whole e-reading thing. I was under the impression that reader-to-reader lending was allowed. What I did not know is if it went against the forum rules. In light of your post, I will err on the side of caution and withdraw the offer and the thread can get back to more appropriate topics, such as how to subvert international copyright law with phoney IP addresses. Maybe when I get upwards of 49,000 posts under my belt, I will know as much as you and not make such ridiculous mistakes.

SueBear, its okay. As you are new, a more appropriate response would have been to enlighten you, and explain our policies.

Please don't let the above response sour you here.........there is lots to learn and have fun with.

HarryT, really??? She was new. Patience..........

Actually, DG, I thought I was rather restrained

. Using MR forums to attempt to facilitate piracy is an excellent way to get yourself banned.

You may be correct, however, that doesn't excuse such a rude answer to a newbie.

Need a hug?
