So for our first book club the winner is The Master and Margarita
https://www.amazon.com/Master-Margarita-Mikhail-Bulgakov/dp/0802130119
https://www.paskvil.com/file/files-books/bulgakov-master-and-margarita.pdf
Here’s a free pdf, different translation though.
This is the first time we’re doing this so is kind of messy. But I think this format should work from now on. We’ll have a nomination thread, then a voting thread with the most votes one wins by plurality (voting should be on Saturday and then close by midnight), this first time we did both in a single thread, but next one should be divided.
The book club discussions will be hold every Sunday, I’ll post them around noon E.T.
Now I have to ask, is 100 pages a week fine? Or 50 pages?
If it is 100 we could agree to read up to Chapter 7, which ends at page 97. If is 50, until page 53, that is, the first 3 Chapters.

This is a very popular and mainstream book so if anyone wants a hard copy just go too any used book store and ask for a copy, should only be like 5 bucks, and if you don’t have the money I’ll pay for it just @ @Eatprayspazz

I think I’m buying this one
Or the Kindle so everybody reads it in English, I haven’t decide it yet.

You really shouldn't bother paying for kindle when it's such an old book, and you could always just go to the library

This book is not famous in Brazil, I live in a medium sized city and I don’t know if our Public Library has it. A local bookstore has it though and I like to buy physical. I typically use Kindle for English Language books in order to read the original, but this one is Russian, so a Portuguese translation would be fine.
I buy most of my physical books from my city’s bookstore and from Argentina, where I get Spanish language books for a good price.

Can't you import pdfs to kindle?

Yes, but I hate the format of Pdf’s on Kindle, and after converting they become a mess.
Guttenberg project has many old public domain books on Kindle Format, I normally download those.

You have to convert them to .mobi first then they are way better on kindle.

You need to find ePubs, which are very prominent on book piracy/torrent sites fortunately.
Everyone uses kindle apparently

The answer is basically no
You can convert them but typically you need to find ePub versions which convert cleanly to kindle / mobi
That said the internet has tons of epub books around if you look. I basically found every book I wanted when I used to do that

Kindle oasis / Paperwhite is the best way to read a book imo
As much as I love old used books having something so lightweight(especially for large
long books) and changing the font / spacing / lighting etc while also getting to swap out translations until you find the one you like for free (via instantly downloadable samples) is why I stick with it even when I have the paperback version
