Well, their ePubs can go to everyone as they are free. I should have mentioned that I meant the public domain titles they do. They put extensive metadata in those which is a good practice, but alas one that does not validate. Since they distribute these themselves and not to Apple, etc. it doesn't matter that that validation throws up an error. http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/
