You're quite welcome. Actually it was pretty easy to find it. I just typed in R.U.R. and among the links was a wikipedia page for the story which led to the online version of the story so I just looked for adelaide library and clicked on the R titles from there and Viola! Happy reading.

The Great Quotations (1961) by George Seldes. The finest book of quotes I've ever read.

I'd also like to see The Five Gospels: What Did Jesus Really Say? The Search for the Authentic Words of Jesus (1993) by Robert W. Funk, Roy W. Hoover, and The Jesus Seminar, but this would be difficult; as a means of replacing the color-coded text (four colors in boldface font, in addition to the regular text) would have to be devised that worked for non-color e-ink screens.

It would also be nice to see The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the World's Greatest Philosophers (1926) by Will Durant in ebook form.

I'm a big Dune fan, so I'd like to see The Dune Encyclopedia by Dr. Willis E. McNelly. I've got a paper copy, but I'd like a proper electronic copy to go with it.

Anything by J.G.Ballard!! He is like the Scarlet Pimpernel, just so hard to find! The Drowned World was a fabulous book but I want to re read it.

Ah yes I've read a few Stainless Steel Rat books, great fun! As for Deathworld I have that as an ebook, from Project Gutenberg-was surprised to see his name up there! (Also Silverberg!) What is PD? Or did you mean PG?

I would *love* to see the whole Harry Potter series including the side books on Quidditch, Magical Creatures and Beetle the Bard in ebook. And another vote for Anne Rice's books too!
