The way you keep on
demanding that the books here should not only be given to you free of charge
and be subject to a professional proofing service
without being willing to put in any effort yourself tells a lot about your attitude.
That you keep on insinuating that the Mobileread library is full of hack jobs without any standards is a serious insult. You feel entitled to this insult in the face of being given authoritative, painstakingly proofread editions of many classics by HarryT; beautifully crafted and exclusive (literally: not to be found anywhewre else) complete editions by pynch; the most beautiful illustrated ebook editions of Mark Twain's works that you can imagine by GrannyGrump; the best ebook edition of Shelley's poetry available anywhere by charleski; countless books that are only available as pdf-scans elsewhere, which have been OCRed and formatted for the Mobileread library by many uploaders who put in countless hours of work - and so on. You get it all for free here, and won't stop complaining and thus insulting all uploaders, and yet
you feel insulted?
It's been a while since I met someone with such a shameless sense of entitlement.
