I think it would be a good idea if PG supported hand-generated epub, mobi, and if PG would allow volunteers to easily offer-up hand-generated HTML of existing PG catalog items that do not yet have hand-generated HTML.
Yes! Yes! As we already don't have a usable HTML archive but a pile of incompatible HTML trash because everybody has thrown in his own personal misconception of HTML markup, lets compound the status quo by adding a plethora of diverse idiosyncratic epubs and mobis all made to everybodies different personal aestethic tastes and markup prejudices and all having a slightly inconsistent set of bugs and quirks. The sites that are most successful at republishing PG books, feedbooks.com and manybooks.net are both using our plain text format instead of our HTML. They sure know why. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
