Thanks to all concerned. I have enough material to tide me through, though more of the same would not be unwelcomed.

If you can tolerate short stories The Damon Runyon A to Izzard collection is excellent. Many of the short stories are in common background groups. (The Broadway stories, for example.)

I'm looking for omnibuses for long term reading. I have downloaded the Sherlock Holmes Omnibus, by Doyle (of course), and two compilations by Trollope, The Chronicles of Barsetshire, and The Complete Palliser Novels.

Please, if you have the knowledge, put in the valuable rec that will provide me with hours of reading time. I'm interested in omnibuses of series, not Delphi-esque Complete Works.

Thanks in advance.

Charles Dickens, of course!

Also, look for my good (and lamented [but not passed]) friend Harry's contributions to the Library. One of the most important and intelligent Moderators (ever!) to Mobileread.

The Trollope books are uploaded courtesy of HarryT. I gave him Karma for either one or both uploads. He did a lot of good work. There are no omnibuses for Dickens though. If there is a Dickens complete life work, I'm not interested in that, for the purposes of my OP.

If you downloaded on of Harry's books you knew it was going to be well done.

I would have given a lot to see him clean up and upload LoTR. Time either for him or for me, is not on our side.

I don't know if you are aware of it - if so, please ignore this suggestion - but calibre has a plugin that allows one to combine epubs into one book. If Harry did not create an omnibus, then you are (of course) free to do so. I've done this many times with different books by the same author.

Not in the public domain, I believe.

LoTR will in the public domain be in just over 22 years.

Will it? I thought it would be true only for Fellowship of the Rings.

I didn't know that. What I don't know about Calibre can fill a book in itself. Thank you. I know you're not allowed to guide me through completely but I'll google the necessary info.

You can’t get help here with DRM removal, but there are no restrictions on help with Calibre. And in this case, with DRM-free books, there’s no issue at all.

Well I think I figured it quickly. But it's a feature I'll hardly need. Thank you for ironing out the issue.
