I'm looking for the "Dave Dawson" books by Robert Sidney Bowen. Three of them are on PG (the first and two near the end of the series) but there are about 20, total. I'm unsure of their copyright status, but given that the first and nearly-last are available, I have high hopes for the others. (of course, physically finding them may be another matter)

Chales and Mary Lamb's "Lambs Tales From Shakespeare" is on PG. Would some nice uploader please make an illustrated copy for MobileRead?
Thanks. |

Thank you for pointing that out. I did look for it, but I think the placement of la Motte Fuque confused me and lead me to believe that Lambs wasn't there.

Are any of Georges Simenon's Maigret books available as ebooks? Are they copyright free yet? I have read several of them but it would be nice to have them as ebooks!
Thanks! |

http://www.amazon.com/Georges-Simeno...ntt_dp_epwbk_0 As for the copyrights on his book, the more serious issue is the translation. The earliest of these works is Lock 14, and you can bet the lawyers at Penguin have renewed the copyright religiously, since the day that English-language version was released. This book was translated by Robert Baldick. |

Precisely. A translation has its own copyright, independent from that of the original book. This extends (in most countries) to 70 years after the translator's death.

http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Search...tml?id=simenon Look for ereader format, which seems to be a code-name for Adobe pdf (?). Another source is www.booksonboard.com. They offer epub versions (which are preferable to pdf). |

Palm bought them and made them the Palm Digital Media Division, and distributed a freeware version of the reader called Palm Reader with Palm OS PDAs. They later sold the division to Motricity, an ouffit vending B2B mobile content solutions, who renamed it eReader. Motricty allowed it to languish, and eventually sold it to Fictionwise, who were in turn acquired by Barnes and Noble. eReader has freeware viewers for an assortment of platforms, and the Barnes and Noble nook dedicated reader supports PML formatted books as a legacy format, in addition to the primary ePub format. You can get available clients for eReader documents here: http://www.ereader.com/ereader/software/browse.htm A freeware Windows application for creating eReader documents from handwritten PML source is here: http://www.ereader.com/ereader/help/dropbook/ A payware WYSIWYG GUI program for creating eReader documents is here: http://www.ereader.com/ereader/software/ebookstudio.htm Information about PML is here: http://www.ereader.com/ereader/help/dropbook/pml.htm And you can still buy commercial eReader titles: http://www.ereader.com/ereader/home.htm ______ Dennis |

After reading the wonderful Edgar Rice Burroughs MOBI and then ePUB omnibuses compiled by HarryT, I wonder if it is at all possible to have a similar omnibus of his standalone novels of like genre, such as Beyond the Furtherest Star, Lost Continent etc.
I am aware these are available individually, but an omnibus would be nice as well. Just a thought! Cheers and thanks Mike |

If there should be small changes, they can be made really easily and automatically.

I'd like C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces. It doesn't seem to be available in ebook at all.
