I think XXXXXXXXXXXX is great -- both in terms of his selection and what he is doing. Most of the books are txt which aren't going to be the prettiest thing to display on your reader but txt is most "reader-agnostic".

XXXXXXXXXXXX has books that you can't find electronically any place else. Are they going to be as good as something you buy in the Kindle store from a formatting point of view? Probably not. But you probably won't find most of them any place else. If you are really compulsive about formatting, you can always take the text file and format it the way you like and then use Calibre to convert it to the format of your choice.

Just my humble opinion...
