What about distribution through a torrent? Although torrents have a reputation for illegally distributing copyrighted content, there's plenty of legal content offered through torrents, e.g. LibreOffice, various Linux distributions, music from independent artists, etc.

We would be very wary of having a link to a torrent site on MobileRead.

Then, we'd have to install some sort of torrent software on our systems, in order to download. I'll pass.

Dropbox and box.net both offer public downloads. Maybe others to.

Too bad about torrents. Good engineering, but too associated with bad stuff to be trust worthy.

I would assume, also, that as the publisher, they could simply add a copy in the proper folder here....

Hi there!

Glad people have been enjoying the free mousecatcher edition of A Princess of Mars. I'm sorry Mediafire seems to have been raising virus alerts for a few people. It's certainly not anything to do with the files themselves -- and if those dratted pop-ups/pop-unders are causing concern, do feel free to grab the zip file instead from those who have got it successfully. The Mobi and ePub files are completely DRM-free and can be shared, emailed, re-hosted as much as people want.

The decision was only made to host them on Mediafire because should downloads really take off, we're a small outfit and might not be able to afford the hosting for thousands and thousands of downloads. (It's mostly me -- Art Mayo -- doing it out of frustration at not be able to find beautiful, reliable eBooks of my favourite adventure novels).

If anyone has any suggestions about good and affordable places to go for hosting, I'd be happy to look into it. I am confessedly pretty ignorant on the topic.

Best,

Art Mayo

Thank you for making this available. Mediafire and similar sites do tend to have popups, popunders etc. I suspect that is a major revenue source for them. I downloaded the file and had no poppy thingies (thanks to browser settings) and avast raised no flags. Downloading from these sites can result in "danger!" messages, but they are usually false positives. Again, many thanks for the download.

I would have no objection to paying for current ebook versions, but nearly all of the reviews complain about poor formatting.
The ERB books here (especially, Harry's) are pretty good.
You might want to check out at Munseys and Feedbooks, too.

Sorry my suggestion of distribution as a torrent ruffled feathers, I underestimated how maligned and misunderstood that technology is. FWIW, torrents don't require a torrent site (look at the download links for LibreOffice, or most any flavor of Linux), are perfectly legal (as long as you're not downloading copyrighted material), are safe (as safe as downloading anything else from the internet), and there are even ways of downloading torrents without installing any software.

Dropbox is not intended as a file distribution service; accounts that generate too much traffic have been shut down. I would not be surprised if box.net and similar services would do the same. Which is a shame, because otherwise Dropbox would be a great distribution method!

I'm glad to hear Art is welcome to post the book up on MobileRead!

Well said. There is nothing wrong with the technology itself. It's how it's used that matters.

Yeah, I've downloaded torrents from IBM before. Torrents are a great tool for distributing large files and IBM used to distribute WebSphere Application Developer (their version if the eclipse IDE) via torrent.

I'm just really glad that all these editions are available (I have HarryT's) and that thanks to the movie, people are reading them. I first read A Princess of Mars 40 years ago at the age of 12, and I thought and still think, that Burroughs was a story-telling genius.

I agree. Burroughs certainly wasn't a great writer, but he WAS a good storyteller. These are wonderful books.
