Winning Mars by J. Stoddard - free cc
Only pdf, but you can extract the text and use a tidy utility to make it nice (I use E-book Tidy).
It's an interesting novelization of an Interzone ss, and the author talks about his reasons of releasing it as cc. Here: http://xcentric.com/ |

I've just sent e-mail asking for permission to convert and post this book here. We'll see what happens.

Does manybooks have the rights to convert this?
I just took a look at their Sony LRF conversion and it's dreadful. Line spaces after every paragraph, no ToC, and the margins are too large. |

It's issued under the Creative Commons license, so I assume so.
Manybooks has a lot of stuff like that: http://manybooks.net/categories/CCL ______ Dennis |
