is Anyone working on The Swiss Family Robinson as an Ebook on standardebooks.org?

KindleAZWorKFX · 02-03-2023, 07:38 PM

I have had no luck finding some ebooks on standard ebooks website for me, they don't seem to have an copy of it yet like for example this title below, I found it at gutenberg but not the other website during my search for the ebook title.

any ideas if anyone is working on this title for the other website for its public domain ebooks, since they do seem to do text better on their ebooks versions, I do notice sometimes images are not included, sometimes its the text without the images that project Gutenberg has but otherwise , I do find that Standard ebooks have better reading text like when you go to transfer them to an kindle they are more readable than the other free public domain ebooks, in any case, I noticed not all titles are on there website which the other one has, it seems to vary about the amount the two websites have.

title is either Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss

or The Swiss Family Robinson; or Adventures in a Desert Island by Johann David Wyss

ok, thanks I didn't even know that they had a listed, I can't post stuff to it, since it costs money for anyone to be an Patrons Circle members on standard ebooks website, I am a out of work college student, that doesn't drive, and I don't currently work, I did at one point had a temp. college campus job, at my old college, but since we moved back in 2014 to my current home, I have not worked, while I was in my old college I did, but I never paid for stuff online like that. used my old job money on stuff offline etc, also I am an learning disabled student, was called special ed in high school or DESP something like that in college, so no I can't post or request eBooks at their website, I think. but thanks for sharing that link anyway. plus, not sure how requesting ebooks at Project Gutenberg works either, most of the time I just find what I can online, and read stuff, on my kindle which I can be slow at the reading process for me, to remember books I have to read them more than once etc..
