They converted just fine with PdfLrf so now I can read them on my Sony reader.

On the author's website, http://www.mayerbrenner.com/ the books are offered in word .doc format, so you can easily convert to any format needed. I've never heard of the author or the books, but I support the idea and have downloaded the books and will start reading soon.
Sounds like another author that has offered something "free," which will probably convert me into a buying customer. I have discovered so many new authors this way. Great concept and I love supporting it and the authors that promote it. |

Does the creative commons license variant permit that for these, then?
(just want to be sure) |

No Deritave Works means that you can't use the characters of the book for another story for example.

Heh. "Fetish objects." That's a luxury I can't afford with my current space constraints.
I do miss the cover art, though.... |

Well, I did include the covert art with my conversions of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.
