Newer ABBYY versions can read PDFs. Or you can get tiff images from the PDF (with pdfimages on linux, for instance). Or you could process the raw scanned images: click on "All files: HTTP" and download the *_orig_jp2.tar or similar.

Margaret Oliphant "He That Will Not While He May"

Working from a PDF found in the Internet Archive site.

It could take a while, but I haven't found any non-PDF versions, other than the rudimentary files in the Internet Archive site.

If anyone knows of one I'd be grateful to hear about it.

UPDATE: 7th July 2009 - files uploaded.

I have just uploaded a new edition of my omnibus edition of G.K. Chesterton's "Father Brown" stories. I bought the Penguin edition of "The Complete Father Brown" and proofed against that, fixing several thousand errors as a result and restoring all the missing italics, accented letters, and other formatting that was missing from the ASCII originals.

Uploaded for Sony and MobiPocket.

Enjoy!

Just started work on 'Miss Marjoribanks' by Margaret Oliphant using a PDF source.

Brilliant. I'm looking forward to this one, Sparrow.

Thanks for the encouragement Patricia.

I was surprised it wasn't on Gutenberg, it's probably her most famous novel (BBC Radio serialised it a while back), but the best I could find were PDFs.

I'm enjoying what I've read of it so far - stay tuned!

UPDATE: Completed and uploaded

I have a quick question about Upload (and probably download) size of files allowed. I have just finished putting together the Memoirs of a Physician by Dumas (Joseph Balsamo and Memoirs combined) and I was hoping to try to get all the Marie Antoinette series into a single, in order, omnibus. But the PRC file is almost 2 megs and I am guessing that is too much. So, what is the size limit for your books?

Thanks,

The forum allows up to 20MB for most book attachments (including Mobi/prc). See "manage attachments" when making a post to see the file size limits.

Thanks.

Really, a 2MB Mobi file is not terribly large

. As has been said, the size limit for all the popular eBook formats is 20MB. I've posted a number of books that are over 10MB in size.

Á la recherche du temps perdu is available for download in French at a number of places but I found none that was presentable on the Sony Reader so I have started on one. The files will be arranged as in the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade three volume edition :

Tome 1 : Du côté de chez Swann, À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs 1 - 2
Tome 2 : Le côté de Guermantes I et II; Sodome et Gomorrhe I et II
Tome 3 : La Prisonnière, Albertine disparue, Le Temps retrouvé

These are now uploaded.

Sparrow · 08-13-2009, 12:03 PM

Just started on Margaret Oliphant's "The Days of My Life".

I can't stop myself reading her books.

Update: Now completed.

I bet you'd like Charlotte Lennox's Arabella

Great work all of you editor/uploaders!
