Free ebooks for anyone with an electronic reader

I am rather tempted by one of these but I cannot believe the price of the books! They seem to be charging the same as the full price hardbacks!
Surely its much cheaper to produce the electronic version of the book rather than paper, print, distribute etc? You would also think the electronic version could be produced directly from the authors original manuscript in this digital day and age so the amount of work involved producing them should be tiny?
Why isn't this reflected in the consumer price? Until they realise this an sort it out I cannot see them shifting many units.
Surely the kind of person who would want an ereader have all the books you can get for free anyway?
cheers

I can't download free ebooks from floodle.net because of the following error
"Ebook download error - Ebooks only available if you download directly from http://www.floodle.net, if you have tried to download it from there then it's likely you have Norton Internet Security running with the anonymize option enabled - temporarily disabling this option will allow the downloads to work"
I don't think it's a good idea to disable my firewall. Does anyone have any ideas?0 -
I don't know about anybody else but I really struggle getting books from sites other than Waterstones to download. I am right asking for epub version for my Sony e-reader?

I use Feedbooks regularly, and list my own novel Mortal Ghost with them. They provide multiple e-formats, including a Kindle-compatible one, are reliable with formatting, and answer email questions promptly and expertly. Highly recommended!0

@nic1lou, Try Feedbooks, as I've said. They also have good instructions at the site on how to download in a variety of formats. If you're still having trouble, write to Hadrien there and he will surely help you.0
