I've downloaded the
Gutenberg Project DVD ISO and can use it on my laptop but I can't find a way to use it on an SD card in an ereader.
I have a Kobo Touch and a Kobo Glo that both have KSM 08, KOReader and the pbchess/vlasovsoft/Cool Reader package installed. I also have a rooted Nook ST with AlReader, Cool Reader, EBook Droid and Opera Mobile installed.
The ebooks on the Gutenberg DVD ISO are zipped TXT files organised into sub-folders and are indexed by title, author or subject using a main INDEX.HTML file. Works great using Opera browser on my laptop but I can't seem to get any browser on either ereader to be able to find and open the files from the main index. The DVD ISO is about 8GB in size and the TXT files seem to be compressed to about 40% of their original size.
If the files were named by title I could probably just search for what I was looking for but Gutenberg has a strange naming convention for instance Apocolocyntosis, by Lucius Seneca is file 10001.TXT, zipped and 5 or so sub-folders deep.
I can't manually rename all 42,000+ eBooks...is there another solution?
Any help would be much appreciated but please don't go too much out of your way to find a solution on my account, I suspect there's no easy answer and I don't want to give anyone a mission.
Having said that I can imagine that a quite a few people might benefit from being able to access all that content from their ereader without having to connect to WiFi so I will continue to explore other options and will post any breakthrough findings here.
Maybe there's a way to write a program that could automatically rename the files but that's beyond my capabilities
currently.
I didn't want to confine my posting to either a Kobo or Nook sub-forum so I thought it best to post here.
