Hi Asaf,

thanks for the response.

Are the Word files available from the site?
If not, could you please send me one? (privately)

      <p>Hi,<br>
<br>
recently I purchased a Kindle and wanted to put some reading material on it=
.<br>
<br>
I checked the <a href=3D"http://www.benyehuda.org/" target=3D"_blank">http:=
//www.benyehuda.org/</a> but I could not find any link<br>
to download<br>
the text in any e-book format, except HTML. Have I missed something obvious=
<br>
on the site? If no e-book format, is that some legal issue, technical<br>
issue or just<br>
lack of time?<br>
<br>
I even sent an e-mail to editor@  two weeks ago but have not received any r=
eply.<br>
<br>
I&#39;d appreciate any pointers to Hebrew books for Kindle.<br>
Actually I am interested in both free and paid books.<br>
<br>
Help getting in touch with the Ben-Yehuda editors would be also appreciated=
.<br>
