<TheArchive> 8,12I have 95 match(es) for Rex Stout in listfile: TheArchive. Type @TheArchive to obtain the whole list
<TheArchive> !TheArchive Rex Stout - [Nero Wolfe] - Before Midnight (v1.0) [rtf].rar
<TheArchive> !TheArchive Rex Stout - red threads.rar
<TheArchive> !TheArchive Rex Stout - [Nero Wolfe 14] - Trouble In Triplicate (V1.0) [Rtf].rar
<TheArchive> !TheArchive Rex Stout - The Silent Speaker [Txt].rar
<TheArchive> !TheArchive Rex Stout - The Affair Of The Twisted Scarf [txt].rar

So... not a problem. If I knew who Rex Stout was, that is. I suppose I have the opportunity to try his books now - and perhaps purchase some afterwards, if I like what I read and the publishers offer legit ebook versions.

The argument that 'pirates' upload ebooks for glory is a false one, I think - you would get far more thanks and fame for proofing a public domain book for MobileRead's collection.

On IRC channels, scanning and proofing are approached in the manner you would a public service. You can usually track the different, improving editions of a release by the ever-increasing version numbers after the title and file-type. If only publishers took as much care formating and proofing their ebooks ;/
