I have a Sony E-Reader, and just today discovered Fictionwise Ebooks at http://fictionwise.com. If you use the advanced search and select the Romance category with a keyword of "gothic" you will find over 30 gothic romance titles. Use the same sort of keyword search in the mystery and suspense/thriller categories and you will find a few more. I bought almost 20 gothic e-books there today!

I was despairing of never finding any good gothics to read on my Sony PRS-505, but this was quite a windfall. Does anyone know of any other good sources of gothic romance e-books?

Very hard site to use. Could not find anything appealing to me.

Most seemed to be hardcopy books and .PDF or .HTML format. It was hard to use this site as the cover photos were cryptic. Also, having repetitive cover photos for different formats of the same book seemed kludgey.

I could not get past the cover photos. Euch!

Thanks for all the suggestions, though. Perhaps others will add more to this thread.
The Regencies at HSB are all Gothic, in my opinion, and I thought the navigation with frames was pretty clear. But then I am on a MAC!

I never found anything interesting at FictionWise myself, so to each their own!

What amazes me is how many publishers still don't offer print and digital side by side so we can download them quickly and easily, and how many publishers charge exactly the same for the ebook, even though there is little overhead compared with the paper book.

Then there is Amazon, which used to stock digital titles more. Once they bought Mobipocket, they pretty much discontinued most other digital formats, but at least they do have some.
