I don't know. I have looked at a few Dutch classics I want to try to reread (and hope I don't quit in disgust again), and they're all bad. I've also looked up some English ones there, but they were bad also, like having the entire book in one file, no TOC, and so on. Basically, a TXT-file wrapped in an EPUB. Then I'd rather pay $1 for a good version.

It's also unfortunate that the PG webmeister seems to have opinions contrary to that of most of the volunteers.

How so?
