Your options appear to be download the PDF, OCR and do extensive editing/proofreading/formatting, then convert to ePub, or download one of the other versions and skip the OCR step.

In any case, you're looking at a fair bit of work to come up with something usable. Are you up for it?

I think I'm prepared to give it a go - it is my favourite book after all.

Don't really fancy the OCR bit so I guess it'll be the second of your options above. Any (free) tools etc you would recommend?
