sandytjan Posted July 25, 2012 at 09:42 AM Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 at 09:42 AM Where can I (legally) download Jin Yong's third edition (新修版) novels in simplified Chinese? I'm particularly interested in 笑傲江湖. There are plenty of second edition ones online, but I have never found the latest revised version that was published in 2004 or 2005 in simplified. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted July 25, 2012 at 02:18 PM Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 at 02:18 PM This seems to be quite demanding - legal (presumably they don't have to be free of charge, right?), downloadable, newest edition, simplified Chinese. I don't know of any that meets all the requirements. PS - if you don't mind dropping some requirements, this link might be useful (not sure if those are really the latest editions).

sandytjan Posted July 25, 2012 at 02:32 PM Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 at 02:32 PM Thanks for responding! Well, do you know any that meets at least two of those requirements? I still need it to be the simplified third edition, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandytjan Posted July 26, 2012 at 03:55 AM Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 at 03:55 AM Thanks for the link. But it seems that I have difficulties using it. Do you have an alternative link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted July 26, 2012 at 01:52 PM Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 at 01:52 PM The link above worked for me, but it involves a few window pop-ups and some waiting. And the books are in traditional Chinese. You might find these pages useful. I've downloaded the first two and they look pretty neat. They are in simplified Chinese, but I am not sure if they are the latest editions. But there is a 新修版序 so it is likely that they are what you look for (meeting three of your criteria, that is). http://ishare.iask.s....html?from=like (epub with pictures) http://ishare.iask.s....html?from=like (epub) http://ishare.iask.s....html?from=like (chm) They were not hard to find at all. I just searched on baidu using the key words "金庸 新修版 下载". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandytjan Posted July 26, 2012 at 05:00 PM Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 at 05:00 PM It works! Thanks a lot, skylee! I've scanned several novels that I'm familiar with, and they're indeed the 新修版. The text seems to be high quality, too. Now I'm uploading them into my Pleco and will begin to work my way through them (very slowly). It surely helps that I've read 笑傲江湖 in two different editions and languages before.
