Gollancz releases every book… ever.
You may have noticed on the novel page that a new button sometimes appears underneath the cover image. Worlds Without End has started including "Add to Amazon Kindle" buttons for those titles that are available on Amazon electronically. You will see this button more and more as we update our database. Once this project is completed, we’ll look at adding Nook, ePub, and mobi editions (where available)
This is our second push for ebook support. The first came a few years ago, when we added the public domain ebook list, where you can download dozens – destined to be hundreds – of public domain books to your ebook reader or computer.
Just as we begin to get serious about adding these links to our site, we hear that Gollancz, the second winningest publisher in our database, is taking many of their out-of-print classic books and making them available as ebooks. The SF Gateway website is going to be "the world’s largest digital SFF library." We couldn’t be more thrilled, since several of our (especially Hugo) winning titles have been out of print for some time.
Now, for your perusing pleasure, here is a list of authors, or their estates, who have already decided to release their corpus for digital reading:

It’s time that I invest in a decent e-reader.
It’s all terrific. I like new Kindle button very much. I start reading SF again few years ago, after moving to new part of city and start traveling every day with city train. In same time I got new Iphone and start reading in city train. Today I am ending day with my Kindle (well, if and when…).
We have a list of FREE e-books in the resources section, and I have noticed that many of the older Kindle books are free, as well. That, alone, is worth the price of an e-reader.
