I think, Ralph, that Jellby was a little confused by the way that you expressed it, as I was myself. When you said:

you presumably meant "books that have been legally converted into electronic format, by virtue of being in the public domain", or something like that, yes? The "public domain" itself is just a legal concept - a book is in the public domain regardless of whether or not anyone has yet made it available to others.
I understand what you meant, but you just expressed it in a rather confusing way
