I received my Christmas gift early – a kindle! I’d like to read Charlotte Mason’s books on my kindle. Do I need to convert it myself or will someone kindly point me to a kindle friendly version please?
Thanks,
Sarah
Yay! I love my Kindle 🙂
They are on Amazon for $1.99 each, in a nicely formatted version, or you can get them free here: http://www.amblesideonline.org/CM/CMvol1complete.txt (download the plain text file; it isn’t formatted as well, but it’s perfectly readable). You’ll have to use a cable to transfer it to your Kindle, or else e-mail it to your Kindle e-mail address.
If you want, I can double check. One of the AO groups has them formatted for the Kindle for free… I can figure out which one of the many AO groups I am on to find them if you like….
Thanks. I saw it earlier in AmbleRamble, but I was unsure how to do it. Clicking the button on Amazon and being done with it sounded good for $1.99.
Well, for future reference, it is pretty easy. For any .prc or .mobi book (or a .pdf) all you need to do is download it to your computer, then either email it to your free address for your Kindle (something like me@free.kindle.com where “me” is your name…) or use the USB cable and copy the file to the documents folder on your Kindle. (when hooked up, the Kindle looks like another hard drive…)
Knowing how to do that opens up the possibilities and the number of free books available for your Kindle.
suzukimom – if you know of a free version already formatted for Kindle – would you please put a link to it here? I have looked and looked but can’t find one.
Yesterday’s Classics just informed those on their mailing list that all their books are available in Kindle now.
Thought you may like to know!!

Well, there are at least 2 places I know of to get the CM series formatted for the Kindle (.prc format – will also work with Mobipocket Reader on LOTS of devices….)
First is in the Files area of the AmbleRamble Yahoo group. To join the AmbleRamble Yahoo group, you need to join the Amblesideonline Yahoo group – and then the AmbleRamble Yahoo group has the link…. Then in AmbleRamble, it is in the files section. There is both Modern English versions, and original there.
But I see it is also now on the Ambleside Online Website. I understand that we can only put a link on here to the main page… so from the main page, select Library, then CM Series. then go to the VERY bottom of the page, and you will see “Courtesy of Blossom Barden: .prc files for eReader:” and links to the files. I think these are only the original.
These two sources are I think the same files, as both are from Blossom. I know I have another set I got somewhere, but not sure where…
hope that helps.
Wow, just went to Yesterday’s Classics, and they are having a huge sale for the Kindle books…. Basically they have all 225 of their books for sale as one big collection for $99 in Kindle format….. would be $2500 to buy as books, and is a big savings over buying the Kindle books separately too. The sale is until Dec 24th.
Wonder how well their Kindle books are formatted? It is pretty tempting!
Good news! Ambleside Online has changed their restriction, so we can now link to any page on their site.
Great! In that case – http://amblesideonline.org/CM/toc.html right at the bottom where it says the ereader files from Blossom
