You have a Kindle I notice ....
Amazon have a version for $1.13 - might save you all the trouble if it's an identical copy .... http://www.amazon.com/Chariots-for-A...=A7B2F8DUJ88VZ |

I did buy that Kindle edition of Chariots for Apollo, but asked for a refund because it is missing the many illustrations and is badly formatted. See my review. |

I have just uploaded a .epub version of this SP-4205 website to our Mobileread.com epub library. It was originally downloaded using HTTrack in July 2009 (see this post) and most recently converted to .epub using calibre. I cleaned up some irregularities using Sigil as well as manually opening the .epub using winrar and dropping corrected files therein. It took about three hours of fiddling, but I was watching a movie (sort of) at the time as well. Enjoy! |

I was finally able to figure how to download all the book. I had to activate recursive mode (-r) and go one level deeper (--level=3). The correct command line is: Quote:
