This is my first post! I hope I won't make a hole in the qwater.

I have among my files an e-text of Earl Derr Biggers' "Charlie Chan Carries On" which is about 30% longer than the P.G. Australia's version. I can't remember where I got it from, and it has now apparently disappeared from the web, but I think the e-text was "legal" - and in any case it should be out of copyright in almost all countries, except for some odd places like the U.S. I haven't got a "hard" copy of the book to compare it to, but it looks definitely "fleshier" and better (though I can't pretend to be a literary critic) than P.G.'s.

Rather than waiting for me to become proficient in the art of converting e-text for the Mobileread public, which might take forever: is there anyone interested and willing to do the conversion? How and when can I send the file (a text file) to him?
