Schumacher isn't available for Kindle.
Neither is EP Thompson.
Much of what I've downloaded so far is 19th and early 20th Century, well in the public domain. Often there's little information on the listing itself, so it's kind of a crap shoot. One of the titles that caught my attention was Social Value A Study in Economic Theory Critical and Constructive, by Benjamin M. Anderson, which being free I downloaded.
The work is (c) 1911, printed in November, so it is almost exactly 100 years old. The following is from the Preface:
This series of books owes its existence to the generosity of Messrs. Hart, Schaffner, and Marx of Chicago, who have shown a special interest in directing the attention of American youth to the study of economic and commercial subjects, and in encouraging the systematic investigation of the problems which vitally affect the business world of to-day. For this purpose they have delegated to the undersigned Committee the task of selecting topics, making all announcements, and awarding prizes annually for those who wish to compete. In the year ending June 1, 1910, the following topics were assigned:—
1. The effect of labor unions on international trade.
2. The best means of raising the wages of the unskilled.
3. A comparison between the theory and the actual practice of protectionism in the United States.
4. A scheme for an ideal monetary system for the United States.
5. The true relation of the central government to trusts.
6. How much of J. S. Mill's economic system survives?
7. A central bank as a factor in a financial crisis.
8. Any other topic which has received the approval of the Committee.
Anderson, Benjamin M. (Benjamin McAlester). Social Value A Study in Economic Theory Critical and Constructive. Kindle Edition
I think it will be an interesting read, even though obviously none of those suggested topics have any lasting relevance. 
The odd irony is that the BF's dad sold HSM menswear for 30 years or more.
