And I have finally bought a supplement to your book for £20.
Cannot find it in any bookshop on the Internet though . Found only one pic of the book

Again -- Great work Harry! Improvements are well worth it. Thanks.

KlondikeGeoff · 03-29-2007, 07:24 PM

Harry, let me add my profound thanks too, for the great effort. Just loaded it to the Reader.

I'm especially pleased that it has LARGE type. The very first book where I am happy with a Medium size in landscape. mode Actually, the Large is too large. Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd say that!

Harry,

This is my first post to these forums. I bought my reader about a month ago and have had my nose in it since the day I brought it home.

Between larger literature such as Moby Dick, The Magus, David Copperfield and a few others, I have been reading Sherlock Holmes. The edition I had until you posted this was okay, but I had to stop and thank you VERY much for this. Your efforts are well received.

Thank you again!
Seth Williams

Hey, why not give Harry some more Karma. He definitely deserves it for his work!

UncleDuke · 03-30-2007, 10:55 AM

Love it!

Your book is becoming very famous and starting to wander all over the Internet.
It is been in binaries (about 4 different newsgroups) a few days ago

HarryT · 04-05-2007, 07:08 AM

That's great - that's exactly what I created it for, for people to share!

Xtremegene · 04-06-2007, 06:16 PM

Good stuff, "ol' chap".

I've been reading this book (collection?) more than my textbooks as of late... guess I need to change that if I want to graduate soon.

Thanks again, Harry!

Leaping Gnome · 04-06-2007, 06:23 PM

Thanks Harry. I had a copy I took from Gutenburg months ago that I quickly formatted in Word and loaded up. Yours is much nicer.

Leaping Gnome · 04-08-2007, 02:43 PM

Hey Harry, one thing I would suggest on your conversions, like this Sherlock Holmes one, is to turn the font size down a notch or two. The "small" on the Reader is pretty large in your font, people always have the option to scale up from the default size, but not scale down.

Aprilbeginnings · 04-08-2007, 05:44 PM

I even grabbed these Harry, thank you.

Could you take a look at one of my later books - eg one of the Jules Verne ones - and see if the font size on that is more to your liking? I use a smaller font size now than I did initially - this was the first book I created, and I've learned a few things since then.

If you prefer the font size on the later books, I'll re-upload the SH with smaller fonts.

HarryT · 04-09-2007, 04:35 AM

I've uploaded another version of the file (in the first message of the thread) for those who prefer smaller fonts. I've left the original there too, so you can have whichever you prefer.
