I like the idea of a subfora that has nothing but posted book threads, attaching the book to the first post of that book's thread (or right below the Title...) and then the rest of the thread for discussion of the contents or the formatting. I think (if I understood correctly,) "what NatCh said..." especially regarding how the thread title should read.
Maybe requests for books could be a single pinned thread at the top? (But IMVHO it wouldn't be necessary.) Or *gurgle* a subforum of the book forum....
At any rate, I wouldn't mind sharing what I've developed so far. Especially if it results in being able to get other texts without a guilty conscience.
As far as legalities and copyright go, would Project Gutenberg eBooks be post-able after having been converted into .lrf? (I confess to having done so for my own use, and couldn't tell even though I tried to read through the fine print. Maybe I should go back and read it again, s..l..o..w..l..y...
