you're too fast... I was pondering to make a mobipocket version of this story myself...
I can't read it just now, because I'm at work, but I'm quite curious: did you modernize the language/words?

In any case: great job!

Just took a look at the book: very nice!

I noticed that the book is still in "archaic" Dutch. I guess I will want to modernise the book (nothing drastic, just a modernisation of the spelling, no syntax changes) to make it just a little bit better readable for myself. A simple matter of find&replace.

This raises an issue though: should the next version of the book on this forum be modernised, or should it be left in it's classic form? Or is it possible to have both versions on the forum, a classic one and a modernised one?

Reactions are welcome!
