Hi cklammer, thanks for your kind offer... I believe what people are asking for, though, is Jellby's carefully proof-read text and hand-crafted HTML/CSS/epub which we wouldn't get from a straight machine conversion.

Machine converted? Yes, but ...

And Jellby said that he would have to read "1984" before doing it - so you want him to read "1984" over Christmas ... that's real hard. "1984" Should be read in middle-to-late November or early January to coincide with the season's mood then ... just my 0.02$ |

There is also a PDF version here. And radius can always do some additional proof-reading ... Last edited by cklammer; 12-26-2009 at 11:18 AM. Reason: Volunteered somebody else |

Ahem, is that a trick question?
That is what I first wanted to post: "Ahem, is that a trick question?"
Just like when your wife asks you if you find her sister attractive .... but since you are not married to me, here goes: I found '84 a really depressing story the last time I read it. Just totally flying in the face of Christmas spirit! Christmas for me is totally family time. |

Besides, its a good antidote to all those It's a Beautiful Life re-runs on television P.S. I find my wife's sister to be extremely unattractive, but since she shares DNA with my one-and-only, I'm forced to choke out that I find her "hot"; is that the right answer? |

Maybe I did not make that point very well: substitute "my sister" with "our housemaid" ... |
