Free Ebook: Peter J. Schakel, Reading with the Heart: The Way into Narnia
C S Lewis's Narnia Books are still in copyright. So is this commentary, but the author has posted a copy online.
Available at: http://hope.edu/academic/english/sch...gwiththeheart/ The author, Peter J Schakel, says: Although Reading with the Heart: The Way into Narnia has been out-of-print since the mid-1980s, I continue to be contacted by people wanting to obtain a copy of it. Because reprinting it is not feasible, I have decided to make it available electronically. This site contains the entire book, including index, in HTML format. Original pagination is indicated by page numbers inserted in brackets [<--p. 1], for convenience in citing material from it. This is a copyrighted book. ... Individuals may print copies of the book for personal use; but no part of the book may be reproduced for publication or sale without prior permission of the author. |

Why can you not convert it? He does not mention that reading the book on the screen is allowed either so why assume that reading it on your reader is not allowed?

So you can make a copy for your personal use, tompe. So can I. But we can't post one here without the express permission of the author. --That would be a publication. |

(Get the Publisher edition, not the Home version.) It can use HTLM, Word documents, RTF files, PDFs, and text files as input, and generate Mobi files as output. You can get plenty of help here on using it. ______ Dennis |

It would be easier if the book was a monolithic HTML file. I use Firefox, with the Spiderzilla extension. Spiderzilla downloads a site starting at the page you are viewing, grabs it and pages linked to it, and saves them to a specified location on your hard drive. It uses a program called httrack (included) to do the spidering. It will still be necessary to assemble the parts into the file Mobi Creator will use as input. Book Designer, discussed elsewhere on MR, is a useful tool for that. ______ Dennis |
