Hi — A suggestion: Have you considered posting a master list of when we expect offline books to go live? Presumably that info is known when the book is pulled?

Example: I went looking for the Plato Complete works: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ighlight=Plato

It is offline. Working backwards, this was derived from HarryT's LRF, which was based on the Benjamin Jowett translation. As Jowlett died in 1893 I would have expected this to be online, unless there are illustrations, etc, in which case I'd still expect it to be soon. Tough to know though.

I have seen other sources saying it is public domain, but of course I prefer the mobileread edition whenever possible. ☺

Maybe Plato can go back up?
