Sherlock Holmes in pdf

ythri · 08-29-2013, 09:02 AM

I found some pdfs of strand magazines in the internet archive. They were quite good quality, and and I decided to extract them and put together a pdf of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes from the actual pages of the magazine.

That doesn't seem to be the sort of thing that is usually posted here, so I was wondering if it would be appropriate for me to upload here. I am aware that there are more compact versions of this in more epub and other formats, but I thought there might be an interest in them in the original contest they were published in.

Any advice on this?

Why not ? It's could be interesting to see the original appearance.

Unter "E-Book Uploads" you find "Other Books". That's the right place for PDF. Look into it and you see a lot of new PDF-uploads.

If you have pdf to epub you could also convert them and then upload the magazines in epub and Kindle format. Generally the program doesn't do a bad job maintaining the look of the text. And when it's in promotion you can get it for free.

I am pretty sure Harry has already handcrafted a full set of Sherlock Holmes in ePub format.

ummm. That link takes me to a YouTube video of an episode of "Murder She Wrote".
Thanks, though, I like Agatha Christie!

Oops. Sorry about that I was looking round youtube prior to reading your post and I thought I'd pasted the right link. I've corrected the link.

@crich70, thank you for the corrected link. I downloaded and will be doing some trials to see what happens. The homepage makes it sound pretty good...

It is. You can convert a PDF to HTML, Epub or Kindle very easily.
The only downside is that if you have a bunch of PDF's it takes a bit as you can only convert one at a time.
