There's a typo in the title: Furure -> Future.

Deb, it's not a zip file, it is an epub file. If you downloaded a zip file please rename the zip to epub and read it with every available epub reader!

Fantastic! Don't know why it saved as a ZIP, but changing the name worked perfectly. thanks - I'm a huge H. Beam Piper fan, so this is like Hannukah in September.

Thanks for providing this omnibus .epub book. I am enjoying reading it.
I have encountered a small problem, on my Sony 600 when I have the font on L the book will sometimes skip sections of text. But if I resize it to M the text is back again. It is not a large portion of text, only a paragraph or two. Any idea why this might be happening? It happened with 1 or 2 other ebooks I have downloaded from Mobileread but I forget which ones. Thanks, Nathan |

Hi Nathan,
It's a problem with the book, I'm afraid. It has incorrectly-nested HTML tags, and the Sony sometimes skips text as a result. The actual cause of the problem is a bug in the tool that I use to create books. I discovered this problem about a year ago and all the books I've uploaded since then have been fine. |

Harry,
I don't know which software you use for creating your ebooks, but you might want to use one of the epub validators afterwards. They would (should) have caught incorrectly nested tags. BTW, I enjoyed this omnibus very much. I read it months ago. Thanks for your contributions. Joe |

Since finding the problem it no longer is a problem, because I know what to do to avoid it. It's a bug in the "Book Designer" program; when you mark text as a title it incorrectly nests the tags. It's easy to fix once you know that the problem is there.
