Finally succumbed and got a Paperwhite

Recommendations for books for free or significantly cheaper than paper version?

Lots of classics are free on Kindle, I have lots of Dostoevsky etc which I stand no chance of actually reading 😀

Cheers, Rich

Most of the classics can be had free from places like [url= http://www.gutenberg.org/ ]Project Gutenberg[/url], use [url= http://calibre-ebook.com/ ]Calibre[/url] to send them to your Kindle. (You'll want to install Calibre anyway, it's handy for all sorts of file conversions and organisation...)

One type of book I'd avoid: text books with lots of diagrams or maps that you need to flip back and forward to reference. IME they don't work very well on a Kindle.
