PG txt file is NOT AN E-BOOK FILE because it does not meet at least one criterion that is universally accepted as being required of ebook file formats: namely reflow.
jim, jim, jim, jim, jim, jim, jim. it's bad enough that i call you a bloomin' idiot. but it's even worse when you come right back with a reply that _proves_ that's what you are. one of the most widely-used e-book formats in the last 20 years has been the .pdf format -- a format which has not, historically, done reflow. yet you want to rule it out _by_definition_? please. i was _fighting_ against .pdf as an e-book format for many, many years before you even showed up, but even i cannot deny that it _is_ an e-book format. _any_ file-format which can express a book _is_ -- or can be considered as -- an e-book format. you seem to think you define terms of engagement, that any discussion must be conducted according to the way that _you_ define words. that's bullcrap, jim. *** besides, even if we _accepted_ your stupid definition, it still doesn't compute, jim, because an ascii-file like the p.g. e-text format _can_ be reflowed, quite easily. you just take out the mid-paragraph hard line-breaks. _any_ e-book programmer can write code to do that... voila! reflow! -bowerbird
