Alden, W. L.: Essays and short stories by W. L. Alden. V1.1. 2 Aug 2019
William Livingston Alden (1837 – 1908) was an American journalist, diplomat, fiction writer, humorist, and canoe enthusiast. He was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
These are from wikisource.org as well as from scans of magazines or books on archive.org. One is from Project Gutenberg. The formatting is what I think of as a "Slim 'n Trim" format; no images, no embedded fonts, and I've tried to design the CSS so that there is a minimum of tagging of html elements with classes. According to the Count Pages Calibre plugin it is 1541 pages. It should work on any Kindle since it's a dual MOBI file (produced by KindleGen) which contains both the AZW3/KF8 format as well as the ancient MOBI format. I haven't proofread all of it yet; feel free to send me any errors or typos you may find.
