It is, as you may be aware, a great deal of work to create a nice-looking book from the PG original - some of my anthologies represent literally days of work. This is work I'm happy to do for the benefit of people on this site, but I'm not prepared to give the fruits of my labour, free of charge, to people wanting to make a "fast buck" from such material.
If you wish to upload BD stuff yourself, however, go right ahead - there will be an "other formats" upload area opening shortly.

Harry, I understand that. As for me, if uploading a book in BD format helps profit-makers as well as enthusiasts, that would be discouraging indeed, but as long as there are enthusiasts out there benefitting from it, I'd want to continue orienting myself to what's best for them.
