I just finished listening to Atlas Shrugged. I listen while I drive my hour to work. (Using Audible on my Garmin GPS unit running thru my aux jack on car stereo).
I of course have read it more than once. But it is a classic. If it becomes avail for the Sony, I will buy. |

I hear that Nate has a pooch named Atlas Begrudged. Or somethin' like that. Okay, I just made that up. Never mind.

People are saying it's horribly formatted in a Courier font. Are we sure it's not really a Topaz file just with the wrong extension?

If it's a topaz file without DRM...
Perhaps it is something useful after all. I don't know enough about these things to say, but perhaps such a thing would be useful in cracking that DRM. Would be the first time I'd ever thought Rand's books were good for anything except killing poisonous spiders. |

No, it's mobi. Renamed it, moved to mobi reader and it's much more readable. Courier font holds in Calibre.
No covers, no copyright page. But also no discount from digital list, which seems to be standard on indie authors and those repackaging public domain sources. Atlas Shrugged is up to 5.99, btw. |

Thanks koland. Wonder why they put it in Courier. I have some MOBI files like that but never saw an Amazon book use it before.

I wonder if these are even legit or if it's like the Potter books that were up for a short time.

They can't possibly be legit. No Objectivist would publish ebooks without DRM!!!!!
(LOL by the way.) |

Looks like they were bootleg - all but one have been pulled (I'm sure it will disappear as well).

All have now been pulled - except for Anthem - the only PD? - seems to be offered in 20 or so legit versions.
