I was looking for that exact title a while back! It's the Indonesian translation of 'The Prince' by Machiavelli, right? You can find it pretty easily on Google Play Books if you're looking for a legit digital copy. Just search 'Buku Il Principe' and it should pop up.
For free options, sites like Sastra.org have a lot of Indonesian classics and translations, though I'm not 100% sure if they have this specific one. I'd be careful with random PDF sites that pop up in search results; sometimes the formatting is messed up or the translation is an older, wonky version.
What worked for me was using my local library's online portal—they had a link to an ebook service that carried it. Might be worth checking if yours has something similar.
Honestly, most people just want a quick PDF. A search for 'buku il principe pdf' will bring up a few university repository sites or digital libraries where it's hosted, since it's a common text for political science courses. The translation by Nurhadi is the one you'll see most often.
I downloaded it from one of those sites ages ago, but the link is probably dead now. The thing is, the language in some older translations can feel a bit stiff compared to modern Indonesian. If you're reading it for study, it's fine, but if you want a more flowing read, you might have to spring for a paid version from an online bookstore like Gramedia Digital.
If online reading is your goal, try Open Library. They sometimes have scanned versions you can borrow for an hour. It's not the sleekest experience, but it's free and legal. Otherwise, the Kindle store likely has it, though you might need to check if your region is supported.

“Agapi (love)” purrs a voice, a rich velvety voice as hot breath hits against my ear, sending shivers down my core making me whimper.
“Words Principessa (Princess)” comes another soft yet firm smack to my ass.
“Please” I whimper. My need for them growing.
“Please what?” asks another.
“What is it that you want? Say it Neonata (Baby Girl)” commands the dominating voice in the group.
“Take me! I can’t bare it any longer” I cry. Tears threatening to fall from behind the blindfold.
“See that wasn’t so hard, was it?” asks one of the voices, as I suddenly hear the smirk behind it.

A website called Neliti often has old public domain Indonesian translations like 'Il Principe' floating around as PDFs. That’s where I dug up a copy a while back. It’s the H.B. Jassin translation from the 70s, I think. The text is scanned from an old print, so the quality isn’t pristine, but it’s perfectly readable.
You might also want to check the digital collections of some Indonesian university libraries; they sometimes offer open access to such works. For an actual purchase, it gets trickier. Major Indonesian online bookstores like Gramedia or Tokopedia list it, but stock comes and goes. I’ve seen it pop up as a reprinted paperback under the title 'Sang Pangeran' too, which is the same text.
I totally get wanting to dive into 'The Prince' without breaking the bank! One of my favorite spots for classic literature is Project Gutenberg—it’s a treasure trove of public domain works, and Machiavelli’s masterpiece is right there in multiple formats. I often recommend it because the site is ad-free and super easy to navigate. Another gem is the Internet Archive; you can borrow a digital copy just like a library book.
If you’re into audiobooks, Librivox has volunteer-read versions that add a quirky charm. Just a heads-up: while these are legal, some sketchy sites offer 'free' downloads with shady ads. Stick to the trusted ones, and maybe pair your read with a modern analysis—it’s wild how relevant this 16th-century playbook still feels today.
