In case anyone hasn't noticed, I've started a systematic reformatting and improvement of the favourite books I've uploaded to the MobiPocket book uploads area, making sure that they display nicely on the Gen3 with a cover picture, etc. Just posted a dramatically improved version of the "Sherlock Holmes Omnibus" which (even though I say it myself) looks great on the Gen3.

All freely downloadable and redistributable. Show them to your friends and make them want a CyBook too!

Enjoy!

Have noticed it and downloaded. Especially good since I have wanted to test Haggard and I like Cheterton but have not read two of the collections. Now I am just waiting for Wodehouse with nice cover images for the Cybook...

Thanks Harry. It looks cool on my Cybook. Even though it's a large document, work's well with the hyperlinks you've put there. Looking forward to my commute with Sherlock Holmes - cheers!

I'll take a look at some of them and see how they look on the Gen3.

I've checked out a couple and they look fine, Jon. The important things for the Gen3 are that:

1. The book has a cover picture (the Gen3's library relies mainly on cover pictures, rather than titles).

2. There's a page break at the start of each chapter.
