I have been busy and thanks to a link I found somewhere on this site I have been able to create epubs of The Complete Works of Ambrose Bierce, four books of Edwin Markham's poetry and "An Itinerant House" by Emma Frances Dawson.
I just need to do a quick proofing again in a week or so and I think they should be ready for uploading. I've started the ten volume collection of Walt Whitman and then I will do Poe (probably). I don't remember who posted the the link to Bierce at archive.org but thank you! |

I have been working on an ebook that contains both "Parnassus on Wheels" and "The Haunted Bookshop" by Christopher Morley in a single ebook file. They were both written by the same man, just a few yrs apart (1917 & 1919) and feature some of the same characters.

Sorry. I'll upload ePubs from now on (I do create my books in Sigil as I have a Mac) but I can't vouch for them as I don't have a device to test them on.

I have been working on book 50 of the Harvard Classics. I found an epub of it over at Internet Archive and put in a proper working TOC for the book as well as converting a copy to Mobipocket.

I have reworked the TOC for "The Romance of Lust," so that instead of just the four volumes being listed the subsections within are also workable.

I just uploaded an English version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's book "Uncle Tom's Cabin." There was a copy already here, but it was in German so I thought I'd put up an English version of the text.

Re;; Barbara Cartland
Yes, these works are under copyright. I am converting them to epub, pdf and prc for the author's estate.
And no, I won't be uploading them here, nor will I be reading them. Last edited by Dillinquent; 03-25-2011 at 05:33 AM. |

I think what were asking is the reason you'd report that here . This thread is for reporting what you're working on for the MobileRead library, to prevent the duplication of effort.

Hello. My grandmother just published a biography of her spouse, Kostas Karagiorgis, a well-known Greek journalist and politician during WW II, and she wants to make it freely available to readers in e-book form. Would the addition be welcome here or is it too specific? It is written in Greek and, although I managed to convert it into Mobi and ePub formats, I have not managed to add a working table of contents and other niceties.
