This is all admirable, but anyone can publish any of these books, if they want, on Amazon, if they are in the public domain. For example I could publish a Gatsby tomorrow in an ebook form and start charging for it, and if I wanted to pay the printing cost I could probably do that, I could probably even arrange for a printer to put out books individually as they were ordered. In fact there are people that sell their system to do this to make money. Something I would never do. For what it's worth, if you have a Kindle Paperwhite, the best thing to do is go to project Gutenberg where you can find almost anything that is out of copyright in an ebook form and put it on your paperwhite. I just did that with a whole bunch of Ray Bradbury. You can also find books on Internet Archive. I found a couple there written by one of my ancestors in the mid 19th century. Anyway just information, be well. If you're interested, check out my first novel in ebook form written 20 years ago on Amazon. It be just all right: an island journey. And also my second novel which I'm serializing on substatic and it's there for free with audio for now, and almost completed. A Builder's Tale.
