ekehat, well, I do have some of Carlyle's Frederick from Gutenberg.  But Carlyle, being Carlyle, is soooo hard to read on my Palm. Once the Sony Reader gets scaleable PDF capability, I think I'm there.
(Yeah, I know you weren't talking about Gutenberg, but I, personally, am uncomfortable with non-PD sites. (I'm just sayin'...)) |
I have found some in graphic format. This is what I'm deploring. And since they are in image format, they are unsearchable. OCR is next to impossible with them because it's cursive text.
If you have pdf files that are not graphic, meaning that the text is not a bitmap but individual printed characters you can copy and paste a whole book. I do it with Word and then change the document properties, text font and size and do a search and replace to remove all extra returns at the end of lines that the pdf left. Takes about 2 minutes for every document. Its worth it for a 2 hour read.
Forgot to leave the link.
