E-BOOKS
Digital editions of "The Hobbit," "The Lord of the Rings," "The Silmarillion," "Unfinished Tales," "The Children of Húrin," "The Book of Lost Tales: Part 1," "The Book of Lost Tales: Part 2," "Tales from the Perilous Realm," "The Legend of Sigurd And Gudrún." The core of Tolkien's epic masterworks are now available as digital 'E-books.' Even the first two (and hopefully more) volumes of the outstanding "The History of Middle-earth" Series can be read on your computer, smartphone, or tablet. In the spirit of this site's goal, I've decided to focus on Amazon's Kindle, which is in my opinion the most stable and economical platform over the other contenders. You'll find the current versions of the Kindle listed just below the 'e-book' editions.
