As part of today's Daily Steal, Books on Board has The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Abbey House Classics) (epub, PDF and PRC) as a free download. Like the Bram Stoker's Dracula they had a couple of days ago (only for a few hours), the PRC version this one does have DRM, so won't won't open in Calibre (but may work on the Kindle, as Dracula did; BooksonBoard says there is no DRM in the download, but a flag for DRM is definitely set). However, if you get the ePub version (not the "Adobe Digital Editions" version of the second link, as that will be a PDF, which Calibre can also have problems with, if printing is limited), then Calibre will open it with no problems and from there you can convert it to any supported format, including Mobi/Kindle AZW, and publish it straight to any supported ereader (Kindle and Sony, so far)
Book Reviews and Bargain reads for the Amazon Kindle, nook, Kobo, Sony and other ereaders, Kindle Fire, nookColor, Kobo Vox, and other tablets, along with some games, music, technology and computers tossed in now and then.
