e-book ~ Tolkien?

Has anyone found a source for the Trilogy in e-book form? After seeing the movie, I want to revisit the books, but would prefer the e-book format. Can't say how old I was when I first read them, but it was a looooong time ago..

Thanks in advance

I downloaded them in a gigantic e-book collection once. If you'd like, I can e-mail them to you. I wasn't able to find it online anywhere. If you have a fast connection, the e-book collection's file name was "1400 SciFi, Fantasy, and Classic eBooks.zip". I found it on Morpheus, and several users had it. However, it is upwards of 170 MB for the whole thing.

Ask me and I'll e-mail it to you. Of course, this thread will likely get locked once a moderator reads it . E-mail me if you'd like a copy.

This is readily apparent when you spend 4 hours on google trying to piece together the whole trilogy.

The son is definately a hinderance. Heck, I'd love to be able to purchase LOR online, but it's just not available. I have the copies in paperback, but now that I've been accostomed to the convienence, I darn shure don't want to add to the laptop bag of stuff if I don't have to.

Thanks for all the help...it's greatly appreciated.
