I am learning to format gutenberg texts for my eb1150 using the eBook Publisher software (because i just love fastidious projects involving technology, apparently) and i just finished my first sucessful project : an imp file of S.S. Van Dine's "The Bishop Murder Case", including clickable TOC and illustrations optimised for the eb1150 (resized, rotated when necessary to maximize size, added legend when the text is too small to read...).

I see that HarryT has already uploaded all the Van Dine books in mobi and sony formats ; would it be ok if i uploaded one of the same books in a different format (imp) ? I don't want to step on anyone's toes of course, but i thought it would be nice to participate in this project since i'm so happy to be able to download books other people have made available... share the love and all that...

I checked in the "ebooks we're working on" thread and no-one mentions Van Dine in imp format, so it doesn't seem to be a project in the works.

Let me know what the policy is on this question. Hopefully now that i'm starting to have some success with this process i can contribute more books in future...
