Little House on the Ebook

Having never read them, I developed a hankering to work through Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books. Mike used to own them on paper, but they went many years ago. He did manage to find me an eBook of the first volume on gutenberg.ca, but only the first volume: there's presumable some sort of hellish copyright thing going on that someone is enforcing strongly (possibly because of a TV series that I vaguely remember hearing about?). As a last resort, I figured I could use my Amazon slow-shipping-credits to actually buy the eBooks, but apparently they don't exist. Wha?

Here, have a video that could be entitled "It started out as such a normal day in the field...."

Drop me a contact email. I can help. Canada still has a 50-year post-death copyright law, unlike the US and Europe.

Is ePub okay?

See also Project Gutenberg Europe (http://pge.rastko.net) and Gutenberg Canada (http://www.gutenberg.ca), created in part for just these reasons (asyouknowbob)

Gutenberg Canada only had the first one, but I didn't know that Gutenberg EU existed: thanks!

(I am, however, now sorted for these books.)
