mtravellerh has produced an illustrated copy of The Raven but it isn't the complete original book and the illustrations exhibit a lot of moire patterns. I used the illustrations from the Library of Congress and they look really nice. I also sized the illustrations so that they would take up the maximum screen size without the Kindle having to do any resizing (to display images faster).
The Library of Congress scanned in a copy of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe that was illustrated by Gustave Dore and my version is an exact copy of their book. I did add a table of contents (so readers can skip the long Comment on the Poem which was in the original book), and I make it clear in the ebook that this one page is added (Ok, so it's almost an exact copy).
I used the same formatting as the original book wherever possible. Sometimes this was impossible, e.g. the commentary was in two columns but I made it one. I did my best to stick with Poe's formatting of the actual poem even when it doesn't look great on the Kindle. Some lines of the poem are longer than the Kindle can display on one line so they wrap to the next line -- even when using the Kindle's smallest font.
This is the first ebook I've created, so I hope everyone likes it.
