Hm, OK. Never knew that Amazon would just convert a book and put it up on their website, if it's a free one. I'd expect it to be proofed and checked over (even for a free one) as a matter of pride, to be honest.
Some of the Project Gutenberg ePubs are quite good to look at, but difficult to make heads or tails of in Sigil because of the many strange codes. I just saw that EPUB basically is HTML, which I did not know before, and Sigil an HTML-editor for books instead of websites. Being a software engineer in "real life", it seems that Sigil will be easy to work with for me.
Maybe I'll reformat some books when I stumble upon a badly formatted one that I want to read. Is it allowed to upload a book to the MobileRead library in a certain format, if that format is already there?
Also, I don't really know if it's allowed to strip all the "Project Gutenberg" stuff and the entire license out of the book, replacing it with some links to the website and aknowledgement that it was the starting version, before re-distribution... the pages and pages of legal stuff and the end of those books really vexes me.
