Okay I shall later this week. I just know not to bother with EPUBs which have the original full page illustrations in books as reading with Libre Pro makes it slow and difficult. It will not be bad if it is a few illustrations but some are just so difficult it is not worth it.

Lately I have gone old school and have been looking at books from archive.org with original illustrations on my lap top. That is how I have been enjoying Osgood translation of The Adventures of Captain Hatteras. It is quite enjoyable with these illustrations, though I picture the Captain as Basil Rathbone and his doctor friend is Nigel Bruce in my mind!

I know many people find Verne's novels dated but I truly enjoy them, hence the reason to read the entire series. I always read them thinking how amazing they must have been to people who had them at the time they were originally published.
