There are more free books on Amazon for Free just have to look for them
and i dont want to list them all.

Am I correct in reading your post, Dennis? Free e-books on Amazon in a Kindle format?However I happen to have some up to thirty in reading simultaneously already so ... a sure wear and tear and an attrition by reading even more.

Hi Marcin yes Amazon does have a lot of free books on WWI.I think the reason they are free is that anything before 1930 doesn't have copyright protection therefore they can give it away for free.


RE: WW 1 books.. - KG_RangerBooBoo - 12-07-2012

Yes they are free. I picked up a couple of them after seeing Landser's post. I've got way to many books on my Kindle now but a few more never hurt. Never know when you might get snowed in. I admit it's less then likely here in West Texas but it would be worth it for the moisture.
