Several people have posted a book that has already been posted at MobileRead. (I too am guilty of this for example when I posted a copy of Voltaire's
Candide.)
It is simple (which is great for me):
- Click on the E-Books menu item in the white on blue menu bar near the top of the screen
- On the next screen just under "E-Books Uploads" click on "Author / E-Book" This changes the index from chronological (most recent first) to alphabetical by author and title.
- Now use the band of letters (and number sign) above to jump to the group where the author you seek is located (i.e.: "V" for Voltaire)
- Next use the page forward buttons to find the author and titles you seek (in this case currently Voltaire starts on page 3 and the duplicate entries for Candide are on page 4.)
There are two (2) main exceptions to this method. First, many people like HarryT have published omnibuses or collections of books as a single volume. Sherlock Holmes is available complete in one volume while Tom Swift or the works of Haggard are available in several anthology volumes. The other exception to all of this is the
Harvard Classics series that I posted as these are filed under "H" rather than under the name of the writer of the books within the volume. While many have also been published in stand-alone ebooks, the full index to the
Harvard Classics series is in the
MobileRead Wiki.
