For people who like the old Target novels, this site contains free downloads for all the Target books that were published in the 1960's up to the 1990's - i.e the first releases of 'The Daleks', 'The Crusaders' and 'The Zarbi' up until the final releases of 'Power Of The Daleks' and 'The Evil of The Daleks'

The download options available are:

• ABBYY GZ
• DAISY
• EPUB
• FULL TEXT
• ITEM TILE download
• KINDLE
• PDF
• SINGLE PAGE PROCESSED JP2 ZIP
• TORRENT

I initially looked at the 'Full Text' versions, which are just the words, before settling on downloading (and saving to the computer) the PDF versions as these also contain the front cover artwork, the back cover blurb and any featured illustrations that the books contain

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I put tons of these on my Kindle a few years back, got a load of Virgin New Adventures as well.
