Yes, the DB API only allows a maximum of 1,000 results back. There is a workaround but it would involve traversing all the DB folders making it painfully slow to get the file list.
If your book is not in Marvin's DB list, 1.1.5 has a feature to launch the native DB app if it is installed. |

I detest PDFs just as you do, and avoid them whenever I can. It's just that as a literary scholar, you have no choice. No matter how detestable and unwieldy a PDF file is, it's still a better option than reading some randomly modernized, typos-infested EPUB edition of the same work. |

Can anyone confirm that the OPDS catalog at the Internet Archive (http://bookserver.archive.org/catalog/) is down?

I admit the crushing majority of e-book readers aren't literary scholars, and for them, meeting the criterion no. 1 above (no typos, nice formatting) is enough. Literary scholars, however (it's almost an affliction), need to see both criterion no. 1 and no. 2 fulfilled. Bad original source edition makes the EPUB edition unusable, no matter how pretty it looks. Which is why scholars are frequently only left with the option to read those unwieldy PDF files of photographed original editions. |

Hats off to you, Harry! You must be that exception I was referring to. Original spelling and punctuation, that's exactly what's required for literary scholarship. I'm looking forward to (re)reading Jane Austen in your EPUB editions in Marvin, and I'll let you know if I find anything suspicious. Very few digitizers professionally go through all the trouble you did, to quote:

The others haven't yet been properly proofed, so I should wait for those. Currently doing "Pride and Prejudice", as you can see from my sig. I have, though, done the complete works of Dickens, if that's of any interest, plus various other stuff.
We now return you to the topic of this thread . |

@Philantrop, I can see the top level of the catalog but whenever I try to drill in, I'm getting a 404 on the sub feeds. I'm noticing this using third party feed readers and web browsers too. Odd.
@Harry, I'm sure you got this from many people but I would like to join them in thanking you for your phenomenal work. I've enjoyed many of your books. |

Kris, you probably noticed but just to be on the safe side: The links from the top-level onwards are relative, e. g.
Code:
<link href="new" type="application/atom+xml"/> http://bookserver.archive.org/catalog/new |
