First and foremost, greetings. I hope you are doing well. The primary purpose of this post is to seek help. During my journey of learning Japanese, I’ve employed a method that proved beneficial when I was learning Greek: obtaining classic literary works in ebook format for free (such as ‘Pride and Prejudice,’ ‘The Great Gatsby,’ and so on). Presently, I am in search of new literary works, both in Greek and Japanese, to further enhance and refine my language skills. If you possess any links, websites, or recommendations that could prove valuable to me, I would be immensely grateful.

I think the easiest way to do this is to buy books from the Japanese Amazon store. You’ll have to make a different account for this, though. It’s really easy if you have an extra kindle lying around, but it might be a hassle if you already use the kindle app and need to log in and out from accounts.
[The Great Gatsby](https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AE%E3%83%A3%E3%83%83%E3%83%84%E3%83%93%E3%83%BC-%E5%85%89%E6%96%87%E7%A4%BE%E5%8F%A4%E5%85%B8%E6%96%B0%E8%A8%B3%E6%96%87%E5%BA%AB-%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%83%83%E3%83%84%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A7%E3%83%A9%E3%83%AB%E3%83%89-ebook/dp/B00H6XBHMY/)

There’s also 青空文庫 [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/](https://www.aozora.gr.jp/) if you’re looking for free Japanese e-books, but I believe they don’t have much translated pieces.
I would be careful about the quality of the translation when doing this. Avoid translations that aren’t published by a reputable publisher, and avoid old translations. Bad translations are bad examples to learn from (obviously), and language changes quickly than you think.
