But if your already fixing up the formatting and any errors (not modernization, but real errors), then your copy will be better then wherever you got it from. Then you go and modernize it leaving a link to where you got it from with errors when you could have posted a version that has no or less errors. Also, you will have formatted it properly. I find that Project Gutenberg's auto-ePub doesn't do all that great a job.
The other thing you can do is post the eBook here and post a link to your website. That would get more visits to your site.
If you post both a copy with and without modernization, then more people will read it as they have the choice of which version they want.
