i'm chasing down the last few details concerning production of quality .pdf from project gutenberg e-texts... (links, bookmarks, and annotations, in case anyone was wondering what might comprise "the last few details".) so i will soon finish the .pdf aspect... but i'm not sure i want to unleash this capability out into the wild for free... first, i've never been too fond of .pdf, not just for its technical flaws (which can be surmounted), but also because adobe strikes me as awfully predatory. compounding that these days is _sony_, which will be releasing a reader-machine (which uses e-ink) in the next few months, one with major support for the .pdf format. i don't care to provide sony a tool that will enable them to scarf much of the p.g. library to prop up their machine, not when p.g. itself ignores the .pdf... wholesale conversion of unformatted p.g. e-texts into quality .pdf e-books available only through the sony store is not something that i want to foster. so i'll probably hobble the capability, so it cannot be used in a "production" type of environment -- most likely by refusing to make more than one .pdf every 4 hours. unless someone can suggest a better way to handle this? i'm wide open for feedback, backchannel if you prefer... -bowerbird
