I actually found ALL of the Barsoom Novels for free in 3 different formats at http://www.feedbooks.com/author/23.
Novel also available at http://books.google.com.au/books?id=a38kjzOuEgMC&pg=PA15&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false
Ray Bradbury, no slouch as a purveyor of SF, loved the Barsoom books, too.
Same with Barnes and Noble, app\’s are not allowed oudsite US and Canada. So how can I love those products when I can\’t even use the full glory of its existence! Kidding. Another problem with Barnes and Noble is that, free books are only open to US and Canada but I downloaded few in the past. Because of that, I\’m into piracy. Dare me not, Barnes and Noble! Have you tried Nook Touch? Anyway, nice gift for Christmas!
