Our Man In Havana

[paraguay2009]

I would really really love to read the above book by Graham Greene but i see that it is not available as a nook book.  I have a nook simple touch.  I live in South America.  Is there a legal and easy way to get this maybe as a pdf or somehow?????  Please help.

This book is not available in the United States as an ebook. Stores in the UK (eg Waterstones) sell it. You may be able to purchase from them using a VPN...I've never tried.

hello thank you for the reply. i did find this site: http://logbookresearch.com/
that looks like i can download it. but i sent them a message and they never replied to me. So...i don't know if it's legit or shady. Anyone else out there have any ideas?

It looks suspicious at minumum. They claim that all the books they list are free to members.  The domain is registered anonymously through domainsbyproxy and godaddy, which is certainly not normal business practice for legitimate companies.  I'd stay away.

Looking through Luzme.com I have found it at Waterstones and Amazon.UK. By clicking on the links I have been able to purchase from UK vendors in the past and side load the content onto my NC. (Amazon obviously won't work, wrong format). You might try purchasing that way to get a legitimate ebook copy. Otherwise there are numerous paperbacks available used.

From their (logbookresearch) T&C page: "Books Manager is a mere desktop facility to search and download files residing anywhere on the web." Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Thanks everyone for the tips. I know I am going thru a lot to get this book but it sounds really good. I guess I could have my mom send it to me in paperback it would just take a while to get here. The logbookresearch site turned me off because I sent them an email asking them who they were and what they were about and never heard anything back. I don't like when companies don't reply. I mean why even have a contact page then?????
I have never sideloaded a book on my nook or for that matter bought an ebook from any other site but BN.com, so I am a bit scared of messing something up. I will check out Waterstones in the UK.
Thanks again.

I checked out Waterstones but dont know if i will be buying from them. still am looking for a PDF of this book. any other suggestions??????

It looks like it's not available as an ebook in the US. Overdrive and Audible have it as an audiobook, and my local library has the DTB, so those may be your only options for now.

Sorry but I don't know what BTD means.

[MacMcK1957]

DTB is short for Dead Tree Book.  You know, those old-fashioned, primitive things made of that obsolete substance called, I believe, "paper".
