BTW, I just figured out how the Ignore List on MR works.
I imagine Google will have their own browser-based reader, like the one they have now. It may or may not be possible to directly save the file. If not, then a hack is required. Even after the file has been extracted, one would probably still have to format-shift the file so that it can be well-formatted and read in an eBook reader. Thing is, why should I have to go through all this trouble for something I paid for?

And I'm so glad NatCh showed up!
