Help me find eBooks in Spanish!
My wife, who lives in Cuba, asked me to look for eBooks in Spanish for her. I downloaded a couple of public domain eBooks from Project Gutenberg but I am sure she would prefer more current books. I like free but am willing to buy. I did some searches that were not satisfying to me. These are the authors she mentioned so you can see it is all newer than public domain:
Robert Graves
Katherine Neville
J.K. Rowling
Isabel Allende
Laura Esquivel
Lord Lovecraft
Isaac Asimov
It seems to me this should have been a no brainer. Why can't I find thousands if not millions of available titles?
My question is where should I look for Spanish language eBooks hopefully in PDF format. The wider the variety the better. Ideas and/or links appreciated of course.

Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal
Etc. Look up the Spanish titles and then search that. Not PDF, but.

There are a lot of Kindle books in Spanish. Maybe Calibre can convert them to PDF or some other open format? I don't know.

Check your local public library's ebook offerings; many have a fairly large Spanish-language collection available, usually through OverDrive.

Gandhi is a Mexican book shop and they have almost all the authors you mention. They sell Adobe Digital Editions compatible PDFs. If your device is not compatible with Adobe Digital Editions, there are tools to remove the DRM.

Barnes and Noble has eBooks in Spanish as well, for Nook.
There are a variety of libraries with books available.
Look for terms such as "ebooks Español" or "libros electronicos" or "libros electronicos PDF gratis"
