If anyone fancies making a nice MR epub The Sorrows of Young Werther in an epub English translation, it would be appreciated.

The library has an lrf copy, but I've discovered that lrf doesn't convert well to epub (using Calibre) as it leaves a weird embedded font. The lrf version does contain some images - it would be nice if the epub did too.

Thanks lots in advance.

Thanks. I've also downloaded the PG version, which seems, strangely, to have a nicer layout (justified text). I've always prefered books from mobileread, but the library seems to have some peculiar gaps.

to everyone who works on the MR gorgeously-formatted books.

I was looking for an epub version of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus in the MR library - no epub - so I checked all other formats. The only version which exists is in German (epub).

I was looking for a copy to replace the awful, unreadable version downloaded from Gutenberg. Would be nice if someone could make an English version.

Thanks.
