Also, PDF makes it possible to pay attention to a number of typographical details which, to some, may make reading more pleasant. But it's not important, I do not want to convince anyone here, and, though your question what makes my site different in my opinion (different, not better) is a good and legitimate question, I cannot properly answer it here. It is a place that I have created for myself (and for a friend, but she has died now), to which visitors are welcome - that's all. The very small number of books may help you discover some that you like, which you may not have noticed among the many thousands in larger collections - Aucassin and Nicolette, for instance, or After London, or Robert E. Howard's poems, or any of the other ones that aren't that well known. And, I do not reproduce existing editions, but create my own, which can be significantly different - I've already talked about this above. OK, so now I have tried to give an answer ... but, really, I'm not selling anything, I'm happy if people have a look and then decide if they want to stay, or not.
