This is not to denigrate Gutenberg etc by the way. Their aim is to get as many books as possible on-line as quickly as possible. That's an entirely laudable aim. If sites such as Mobile Read can then use those as a starting point for creating 'nicer' versions then that's an equally laudable, if slightly different, aim.

Actually, since they started using Distributed Proofreaders, I think there is every reason to assume their etexts have become very high quality. The problem is that a lot of the good stuff predates DP, and is thus of also hit-and-miss quality.
What license do the books available at MobileRead fall under? I presume commercial use is prohibited.
