I am winnowing my paperbacks to give to the library book sale and I trotted off to the computer to see how readily available Andre Norton's books were in kindle format.
I never thought I'd give up paper books, but the larger font size settable in kindle books got to me. As I move more and more to kindle, my house, formerly full of books, is starting to look like I'm a Republican or something
Come to find out Amazon has numerous Andre Norton books for free. I just grabbed all fifteen free ones. Others are like 99 cents but I left those for later. There were other older science fiction authors in there with free kindle books also.

Saw your question and had to respond. Andre Norton was one of the authors that I loved as a student back in the 70s who's work stands up to an adult's perspective..
Almost any would work, but I like "Saragossa of space" or the "witch world "series

(3,485 posts)I read this as a preteen when in it came out in paperback in 1961. I bought it through Scholastic Books. It may have been the first science fiction novel I had ever read. It wasn't the last.
I read that book over again many times and still remember it today. I became a big science fiction fan because of that book. And I never forgot the name Andre Norton.
Thanks for the Kindle information.
