There are many books now available on Kindle. Some can be found at Amazon:-

I've yet to be dragged into the 21st. century.

I've a Kindle and I highly recommend it, as the choice of books is endless, though I haven't yet downloaded any Zulu War titles, too many others unread at the moment.

I'm always hoping that audio books for the Anglo-Zulu War 1879 catches on, covering new as well as older titles, as I'm not always able to concentrate long enough to read, whereas listening to them on my cd player would be most helpful and an absolute bonus.

Keith:

That's good to know. I just wasn't aware that all of that 'free" stuff was available. Thanks for posting that information. I probably will reconsider now!
