Shakespeare..Any good formatting out there?
Im having a helluva time coming up with reasonable copies of Shakespeares plays. I have:
1) Converted a pdf from google books to a word file to a mobi file...fonts got all screwed up, tried fixing it, inserted TOC etc, but still hard to read the verse properly 2) purchased 2 different versions from Amazon...both are crap... Does anyone have another source out there ![]() if anyone wants a pdf or word doc of the complete works, let me know. |

There are several titles here at MobileRead (but not all are plays).

Is there any good HTML source for Shakespeare ? I'd like to add his complete works on Feedbooks, and of course, they will have a proper TOC.

FBReader does not break at the end of each line with the MOBI version, but the ePub looks good. |

blockquote + p {text-indent: 0.0em;} Don't know how it'll work for Mobipocket though, they probably add this indent automatically on p tags. You can change the PDF font size using the custom PDF option. |

I got a Complete Works off of KindleKorner on Yahoo. Not sure who did it, but it is nicely formatted and has a good TOC.
