I feel like a lot of those classic paperbacks are sitting in charity shops and used bookstores, not online. The digital rights for some might be tangled up or just not deemed worth the conversion cost.
It's a shame because there's a real charm to those older stories. Maybe look for authors who were prolific then and see if their estates or newer publishers have re-released their work digitally. Sometimes an author's backlist gets picked up by a small press specializing in vintage romance.
Failing that, audiobook versions are sometimes produced for classics. Check Audible or Chirp; you might get lucky and find a narrated version of the one you're after.
My approach is author-centric. If I discover a writer from that era I enjoy, I search for their name specifically across all the major ebook stores. Sometimes an author's entire backlist gets digitized by a modern publisher, even if the Mills & Boon brand isn't prominently featured.
Sites like Fantastic Fiction or the author's own website can be good resources to see what's available in ebook format. Older authors sometimes regain rights to their early works and self-publish them digitally.
It's more detective work than a one-stop shop, but it's rewarding when you find a whole trove of someone's classic work available legally.
I've had some success with Google Play Books. They seem to partner with Harlequin for a lot of their back catalog. Just search 'Mills & Boon' and filter by 'Books' and then sort by publication date. You'll see a mix of new and old.
The preview function is handy to check the formatting quality. Some of these older digitizations can have weird formatting or typographical errors, so it's good to peek first.
Prices are usually competitive with Amazon. Sometimes they even have free promotions on the first book in a vintage series to hook you.
Check out eBookFairs or similar sites that list free and legal ebook offers from publishers. Harlequin sometimes runs promotions where they offer the first book in an old series for free for a limited time to drum up interest.
These are completely legitimate and a fantastic way to try a classic without spending money. You just have to be quick and check the site regularly, as the offers change weekly or daily.
It's a promotional tool for them, so they usually pick a strong representative title to hook you into buying more in the series or from the author.
