    Don't know if this needs its own post, i think the original could just be modified to reflect this.

    • Happy for mods to update original post to include the google play link

      Yeah this is retarded. Ozbargain would be filled with posts of the same deal over and over just different payment methods. One post is enough.

      • Then again, if a post has "amazon" on it, many Ozbargainers are not interested in giving another data-mining bunch of rent-seekers explicit permission for their behaviour, and let the chance pass rather than open yet another security hole.

      • Uhh, so I best not post this as $0.15 if split between 5 friends and using googles family share?

    Great price, especially if you earn credit via google surveys :)

      I highly doubt that you have read any of his work. Philosophy is too highbrow and abstract for too small or close a mind as such.

    The works are now out of copyright in Canada, so some appear here:

    Interesting.

    My guess is e-artnow isn't paying any licence on these works, using the fact that CS Lewis sits in one of the copyright holes. In the US and Australia, the term is death+70 years now (thanks to Mickey Mouse), whereas in Canada and other places it's still death+50 years. Under the first it's still under copyright, under the second it's not. Online purchase obviously makes that even more complex.

    If you buy it, make sure to get the book out of Google's clutches and run it through something to get rid of the DRM - Google have been known to retroactively delete books you have bought if they decide that you weren't supposed to have it.

      Yep - I downloaded the HTML page in the desktop as a start, as Adobe doesn't come near my everyday systems. I may have to fire up a Windows scrap system to throw their reader crap on temporarily, but I was hoping the unlamented death of flash would see these guys go the way of other dinosaurs..

    Loved reading the Narnia series as a kid, have recently read The lion the witch and wardrobe to my young daughter and found the dated language a little hard going.

    • Same. It was always my all-time favourite series, and it's still great, but perhaps not as amazing as I remembered. My kids were a bit unenthused, but they're maybe a bit young (5 and 8).

    Unfortunately, it's contained in one PDF. The links to specific books don't work in Adobe Digital Editions / any other PDF reader.
    still a bargain at 88c. Got one, thanks OP
