The FadedPages ePub. There are a number of gaps in the ePub text that are not in the HTML. It would be best to build the ePub from the HTML.

So would it be OK to post an ePub created from the FadedPages HTML?

Sure! Our library is Life + 70. That would be very nice indeed, Jon.

Now there's an interesting question. It would certainly be OK for me to do so, since I'm a Canadian and living in a life+50 country. But Jon, living in a country whose copyright laws are somewhat "restrictive", can't officially download that FadedPage copy unless he is physically in a country that is at least Life+70. Of course, once he has legally downloaded it, he can certainly do with it as he wishes, including converting it to ePub. And someone who can legally download it could gift it to Jon wherever he physically resides, and he can legally receive it that way.

An interesting dilemma. Let's just take it as a given that I've downloaded the HTML and gifted it to Jon for his use.

I'll make such and post it.

:thanks:

JSWolf 09-22-2017 02:22 PM

I'll second England, Their England by A.G. Macdonell.

CRussel 09-22-2017 02:25 PM

I'll third it then. Since we all agree that issybird nominated it. :D

And thanks, Jon, for the conversion.

issybird 09-22-2017 02:27 PM

Uh, I nominate England, Their England. :D

CRussel 09-22-2017 02:30 PM

Now, if we can get a Third for Alice, Let's Eat from Jon, we'll have TWO books that the three of us agree on. And when was the last time THAT happened! :eek:

WT Sharpe 09-22-2017 02:52 PM

I'll add the link to Jon's version of England when he posts it.

Jon's out of nominations. 'Tis not to be.

CRussel 09-22-2017 03:08 PM

BTW, Tom. I think you missed issybird's second of Alice, Let's Eat. Post #20, though I admit it would be easy to skim past it!

JSWolf 09-22-2017 03:47 PM

I need two more people to nominate my Fanny Flagg book.

I did indeed. Fixed now.
