I'll upload them indivdaully at the same time -- there are six of them - after I finish doing all of them.

I'm almost finished with Trollope's The Claverings, considered by many scholars to be one of his strongest independent novels.

I don't know if it's still in copyright or not; if not, it would certainly be a great ebook to add to the library.

Yeah, I was just wondering if once out of copyright a book would become copyrighted again if the laws change.

I saw the text online a few years ago, but there nothing on the Gutenberg sites right now.

No; once a text has entered the public domain it stays there.

For example, Australia now has a "Life + 70" copyright law, but all the books which entered the public domain while it had a "Life + 50" law remain in the public domain, even those of authors who died more recently than 70 years ago.

IANAL, however - it is conceivable that this may vary from country to country.

I've now posted my tenth Balzac. There are over 90 in the whole Comedie Humaine series. Do people actually want more, or have they had enough?

I'm Working on The Galaxy Primes by Edward Elmer Smith

It was released on PG in the last 24 hours.

Well, the most recent revision was. I have a Plucker format file on my PDA based on the HTML text released by PG on 3/20/07.

PG releases updated and corrected versions of existing texts frequently. Unfortunately, they don't have a change log with the updates indicating the differences.

This is the new HTML. Meaning that it is no longer text and should be in it's final form. The plucker you got is based on the text that wasn't in it's final form.

RWood · 08-19-2007, 11:19 PM

I am enjoying the Balzac (and based on comments in other threads it seems that Patricia has her admirers out there.) I would be interested in reading more of them over time. They are not a fast read for me and I sometimes get lost in the translation.

RWood · 08-20-2007, 09:57 PM

There are two more Lester del Rey books on PG. If Don has no objection (as he posted the first one), I will do the other two.

HarryT · 08-21-2007, 10:06 AM

Quiet day at work today, so I've managed to get through six crime/detective books from PG, all from authors I'd been previously unfamiliar with. The most interesting one looks like "Average Jones" - an advertising executive who solves crimes in his spare time

I'm aware of that. What I don't know is what the changes were, and whether they are significant enough to justify re-doing the conversion. (Like I said, no change log...)

I don't use PGs option of getting a Plucker file: I download the HTML and do my own conversion on my desktop (high compression, embedded images with thumbnail linking to full copy, thousands of colors, and named and categorized using my standard convention.)

I just worked on the new book (new to PG) The Adventures of Mya the Bee translated from German and illustrated. It's now posted.

RWood · 08-21-2007, 03:03 PM

Three Men on a Brummel by Jerome will be my next book.

Patricia · 08-21-2007, 08:16 PM

I shall be doing some more Balzacs, as the mood takes me. Has anyone any particular favourites?

HarryT · 08-22-2007, 01:51 PM

Patricia,

Could you possibly produce your books in MobiPocket format, too? All you have to do is click the "Palm" button on the top toolbar in BD, set the file type to "MobiPocket Reader" and the device to "Sony Clie". Only takes seconds to do once you've done the Sony Reader format.

Thanks,
