Very often a forum member will build a properly formatted and proof-read book for you.
Are you having problems finding titles you need? There are lots of sources out there, such as gutenberg.org, feedbooks.com, manybooks.net, archive.org (but its books are quite minimally OCR'd, and need lots of text corrections), and dozens of sites with "read on-line" as their reason for being.
A good source to hunt for links to specific titles or authors is the Online Books Page, which is solely devoted to links to source files for public domain titles /authors (they seem to concentrate mostly on gutenberg.org, archive.org, and hathitrust.org, and some sites hosted by universities, but it gives an excellent starting point.)

Thank you Granny, I had noticed the thread for asking for specific titles to be "worked on."
Right now, I'm in the middle of comparing book lists to what's already "in inventory" here, and acquiring both the epub and mobi editions of the works that are already completed.
IF anyone is interested, I can put up the entire book list for each grade from Kindergarten - 12th grade (sorry, I don't know how those equate grade / class-wise across the pond. If someone would translate for me I'd appreciate it.)
In general, how does everyone feel about working on NON-fiction works rather than fiction? (or should I open another thread for that question?)
Thanks,
Kathy
