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.

Sorry about the double posting. Was trying to edit and somehow ended up with a repeat post by mistake.

Any of the English translations of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's books on flying, most particularly "Wind, Sand and Stars"

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!
