Are there electronic versions of Tolkiens books?
At long last, authorized electronic editions of several of Tolkien’s books are available: at this time, they include /The Hobbit/, /The Lord of the Rings/, and /The Children of Hurin/. Links to purchase these editions can be found in the Tolkien section of the HarperCollins website: http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/11538/index.aspx There are of course limitations on these texts. All of the formats currently available (there are quite a few) are protected by various types of “Digital Rights Management” software to limit printing and copying, so you should make sure your hardware is compatible before buying.
