Does anyone have or know of a well formated copy of Hamlet, perferable LRF, but lit or mobi would work too. PRoject Guttenburg as a copy, but it doesn't seem very well formated. (Need it for my son's AP Lit course he is taking on line over the summer.)

I keep trying manybooks.net... but they seem to be down. Anyone know about that?

While I'm at it, does anyone have a copy of TS Eliot The Hollow Men. I think I found it on line, but I'm not sure if that was the whole thing.

Bob, there are quite a few nice online presentations in HTML which you could use to create the .lrf or MobiPocket version from.

This site looks good: http://www.enotes.com/hamlet/ as well as this one: http://www.online-literature.com/shakespeare/hamlet/

You can buy a MobiPocket version at mobipocket.com for $4.00, but it may or may not be well formatted. Fictionwise has the SparkNotes version for sale, but it's only available in a secured format.

I found a free MobiPocket version at http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Documents-E-Books/The-Tragedie-of-Hamlet-Prince-of-Denmark-for-MobiPocket-Reader-38729.shtml but having downloaded and looked at it, it's a poor rendition:
_ACTUS PRIMUS._
_Enter Barnardo and Francisco two Centinels_[1].
_Barnardo._ Who's there?
_Fran._[2] Nay answer me: Stand and vnfold yourselfe.
_Bar._ Long liue the King.[3]
_Fran._ _Barnardo?_
_Bar._ He.
_Fran._ You come most carefully vpon your houre.

BOb, may I suggest RWood's copy of volume 46 of Harvard Classics: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11816

The Hollow Men is available here:
http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/784/
(This site has annoying pop-ups etc.)

I've uploaded The Waste Land and some of Eliot's early poems. But The Hollow Men is still in copyright, so it won't be appearing here.
