I intend to convert all of William Murray Graydon's works (there are about 30 online). It may not be high literature, but there is a lot of action going on! Done 3 so far.

I'm busy with the YLT (Young's literal translation) Bible, to see how many bookmark links the Sony reader (PRS-505) can support.

So far I'm on an average of 6 links per chapter, though I expect the end result to be like 5 links per chapter.

I have some issues with bookdesigner not converting the links correctly...
Anyways..

Uploaded what I consider to be a "definitive" version of Dickens' "Oliver Twist". Rigorous proofreading against the "Oxford Illustrated Dickens" edition revealed 100+ previously-unknown errors, and several instances of missing text.

Uploaded new editions (v7) for both Sony and MobiPocket.

KJV, ASV, and other copyright free bible versions.
I think of releasing about 5 full bibles in 2 weeks.

I will make a full sweep of the Athelstane archives (Marryat, Kingston, Reid, Fenn, Ballantyne, Collingwood) Those are more than 400 books online, mostly adventures.

If people like my epubs now (I do but still not fully content), I will post epubs of every book, too.

Where? in the "Misc" uploads forum!

What a shame there's no .epub upload forum (yet)...

I'm working on The Game of Logic by Lewis Carroll (aka, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). I'm having to recreate the many illustrations from scratch so this may take me a while.

ProDigit · 01-02-2009, 01:42 PM

I currently will try to take some Christian Classics on my shoulders!
That should vary my (boring copy-paste) work of the bible a bit.

Any links to christian classics downloadable text or html would be appreciated!
PM me!

For now I'm just using Google.

Thanks Patricia! Google gave me ccel, which I'm currently looking into!

After uploading the 4 of Goya's etching series, I found at home paper editions of "Los caprichos" and "Los desastres de la guerra", so I'll try to scan them, which will hopefully give better quality results. Even if it's not much noticeable in current e-ink readers, that should mean the ebook will be better anyway

For the other 2 series... I'll ask some other members of my family, they may have them in paper too...

It's nice to see this enthusiasm

I'm currently scanning "Los caprichos", and I'm planning a cool new feature... Unfortunately, the print quality of "Los desastres de la guerra" is quite poor, I couldn't even match the sharpness and contrast of the Wikisource files, but I'll do something anyway.

Thanks, Jelby. I love Goya, and am very sorry that the "Disasters of War" series is as relevant today as it was when first engraved.
