If you notice any site errors or have an idea for our eBook store, we'd love to hear it no matter how small.

Your first time?
We recommend you download one of our test eBooks to make sure you have the right settings on your computer.




For the most part, you'll find the same ebooks at each virtual online ebook store, just differences in price. Happily, I found the Diesel eBook download store to be the exception to the rule. Not only did they have most of the titles I've found at other sites online, they had a nice selection I hadn't seen anywhere else, in particular, the complete collection of original Sherlock Holmes novels all in one compendium, and in Palm eReader format, just how I like.
