FeedBooks seems to only offer eBooks in PDF form (according to the quick check I did), making the service worthless.
I can understand offering eBooks in ready-to-go formats for those who don't want to be bothered to do their own conversion, but the original source should [B]always[B] be offered as well. |
(Sigh) I was talking
specifically about how we might handle uploads of
PDF books, rlauzon, so the fact that FeedBooks only offers the thing I was specifically talking about is kinda the point.
I know you don't like PDF, Mobi, LRF, and all the other 'closed, proprietary' formats, and I'm not disputing the point, but a lot of folks do get a lot of mileage out of them.
I think that when we're talking about ways to offer
free books in as many formats as possible, for the convenience of as many folks as possible, with as little trouble as possible, the fact that some of those formats are terminal ones (as in you can't get the stuff back out) is not really the most important point in that context.
