I have some old magazines and periodicals from the 19th and early 20th century that are no longer under copyright. Stuff like Victor Records featuring new musicians etc. It's meant for those that might appreciate this kind of historical content. It's interesting to see how journalists wrote then and it's interesting to see initial reactions to historical events i.e. the Titanic sinking or featuring an article about phonographs "Edison's new phonic device!".

If I do this I don't want to just scan the pages, I'd prefer to create a version optimized for ereaders. Transcribing the text, rearranging the layout and borders etc. to make it look like it was made for a 6" screen. The only thing that I'd scan is the pictures.

I may think of publishing a compilation ebook that has the best articles from all periodicals. I'll have to peruse and see if there are enough "best" to do that.

Would people interesting in reading this though?
