A sharp-eyed reader alerted us that there was a problem with the formatting in one of the free books provided in our ebook bundles, “Der Freigeist” by Gotthold Lessing.
We’ve corrected the file and we’re happy to provide it here, download it by clicking on the link below. To read the book, just edit the file name to remove the .zip extension, so the file ends in “.epub”, before loading it on your Cybook.
Der Freigeist_Lessing.epub
Thanks very much to the Bookeener who let us know about this so we could correct it.
Happy reading,
Bookeen Team
