Something similar with a free Baen Books CD ISO download, which had seriously weird stuff in it. I think downloaded nearly 15 years ago and forgotten till recently.

I suppose we are lucky Gutenberg aren't solely offering plain text, which they did before adding HTML and mobi (not called old Kindle till later).
