    Just downloaded it to my Android phone. Something decent to read now when I'm sat in waiting rooms...

    Thanks, Adam!

    You can still take advantage of the offers if you search for the book on your local Amazon site (i.e, .com, .ca, etc), not sure why their checkout process doesn't automatically transfer you to the correct place if the deal is valid there as well.

    This one is available for free, also. I downloaded it to my phone and have started reading it. The first chapter talks to a paratrooper who jumped at Normandy and Market Garden and that is as far as I have gotten.

    One month ago I have found this web site: http://www.scribd.com/, I don't know if you know it.

    There are thousends of books, also about military history. You can read some of them only on payment, but many other are readable directly on internet or are downloadable gratis in PDF.
    When you read the file directly on internet it's also possible to add notes to the text.

    Examples:
    - http://www.scribd.com/doc/139856713/Panzers-in-Winter
    - http://www.scribd.com/doc/30800660/Kursk-The-Vital-24-Hours-Fowler-Will

    It's not that bad! Mind it's not that good, but for free you cannot lose.

    Billy Bragg is one of my all time favourites and this is my favourite song by him.

    A pro sex and anti-homophobic anthem, co-written by Johnny Marr, with the line "I had an Uncle once played for Red Star Belgrade" and a video starring Kirsty Mcoll and Phil Jupitus, how could it fail?

    If you want to hum a different tune I'll change my signature to some other lyric. Would you prefer Ramones or Green Day?

    Stick with the Bellow-along-a-Billy I say.
    Also a personal favourite of his for me, largely 'cos lots of the lyrics make me laugh - proper earnest Bragness - though 'Honey I'm a big boy now' is probably my preferred option with him.
    (I have a soft spot for protest songs & singers, even when often diametrically opposed to my views - Something about the earnestness appeals.)

    Errrm... sorry, this was supposed to be something about Ebooks.
    Haven't looked at the Kurowski yet - free books piling up.
