Thanks, that's a good resource -- I'd looked at Gutenberg before but dismissed it as the first few Pyle books I'd downloaded from there were pure text, without images -- every time I found an online copy of Robin Hood, I'd get excited at first, then see it was just pure text and get annoyed, then notice the "Project Gutenberg" tag :P
The only problem I see with the Gutenberg versions is they don't include the little in-line text blurbs Pyle put on either side of the page describing the action -- "Robin meets a stranger on the bridge" or whatever -- and they only have one of the three King Arthur books uploaded. Still, though, I should be able to convert those HTML pages to kindle format fairly easily, so thanks, that is a lot of the work already done for me.
