I have been slowly (read: very slowly) working my way through the series making corrections in anticipation of a revised version 2 release.

There are 52 books in the set - the slow isn't solely your own making.

I am pleased that you thought enough of the collection to provide an additional portable index document.

The collection astounds me. I mean I've gone into bookstores and seen mention - but had no idea. These are some of the greatest documents in history IMO (by some of the greatest in history).
I actually had this crazy notion when I uploaded the file here.
Because an HTML document can be tagged to have Calibre separate the books and chapters - it would be possible to have all 52 books in one document (it would be huge - I know). But, a standard TOC could then be created (similar to the one here) - with active links. As well as two indices that could also act as TOC - one listed by author, the other listed by title (, and possibly one by primary topic).
Normal textbook manufacturers have people they can hire - who in turn create an index of keywords/topics - but I'm not that ambitious. What's more - I don't have the original texts to even begin a monumental undertaking such as that - but I would definitely be willing to give the others a go.
My sincerest gratitude to you, and those who aided and abetted the effort.
Cheers,

ps. I understand the page numbers. I was curious to know what advantage eReaders in general could have for a college student - if they couldn't cite the page number of the original text?
pps. I also do not know enough about the encoding of LRFs to take advantage of the actual TOC feature the 700 offers. Which it doesn't even look like Sony is fully taking advantage of in their classics series.
