Lessig, Lawrence: The Future of Ideas. v1. 18 January 2008
I've been trying to read the various incarnations of this Creative Commons-licensed ebook for a couple of days, and got tired of fighting bad PDF conversions, and bad MOBI conversions (the Mobipocket version on Munsey's has the entire body of text underlined).
I downloaded the MS Lit version, converted it to a text file, cleaned up the text, and then used BookDesigner 4.0 to re-convert it back to a Mobipocket-format book, fixing the table of contents somewhat and prettifying the contents. I'm sure there's a table or two that need some formatting work, and the footnotes need 'fixing' so they actually work as expected on the Kindle. If you find a footnote you like, you'll have to go find it in the 'Notes' at the end of the book. If, as I read the book, I find these problems to be annoying, I'll fix them and re-post.

I'd love for someone to do this for Lessig's Code 2.0, as well. (If you ever feel so inclined.) Thanks again! |

A trivial formatting issue, John - please note that we need a "space" after the colon following the author's name in order for the book to sort correctly in our "Library". I've corrected it for you on this post.
