Thanks, Dr. Drib, I just downloaded The Great Gatsby and loved how it looks on my prs 300, the font (is it Times New Roman?) looked sharp and the contrast looks so good on my pocket reader. Now the only thing I am not sure about: again, I may be just a little too paranoid on this - for language learning purpose, is the English not outdated (as most of his works are 80 years old)? I also heard people raving about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, although I have no doubt that those Holmes stories are beautifully written, but is the language used still current? These may be obvious for native speakers, but I for one, really cannot tell.
