Other Fiction Austen, Jane: Emma (Illustrated). v3, 1 sep 2009

[zelda_pinwheel]

imp conversion of HarryT's illustrated Austen series. I will do the others as well. to avoid confusion in case of further revisions i have copied the title of HarryT's post, including version number and date (they correspond to the mobi version i converted).

conversion notes : thanks to Nick's brilliant conversion tool, i can make an .imp 1150 *and* a 1200 version with very little extra effort on my part, so i have included both here. the color illustrations make the 1200 particularly worthwhile. i have fixed the problem with the images being too long in this 1200 version, and will redo the previous ones after i finish the series.

HarryT's original description :

Description from Amazon:

Beautiful, clever, rich--and single--Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, "Emma" is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

Illustrations are used, with thanks, from http://www.mollands.net and http://www.solitary-elegance.com. Both these web sites are great resources for all fans of Jane Austen!

Enjoy!

Great job! You nailed the 1200 version as well. Gee, doesn't take you too long to become proficient!

By the way, is the ending (FINIS) the Franco-Anglo version?

Inquiring minds want to know, so, for literary writings, how do you say "THE END" in French?

FIN. "the end" is "la fin" but usually you don't use the article. "finis" actually can be a word in french also, it's the second person singular of the verb "finir", so "[you] finish". however it would not be used at the end of a book.

With Mobi2IMP 9.2 out now, maybe you can try it on this ebook conversion from .prc to see if it easier to accomodate the two devices, 1150 and 1200, now.
