first, the file at that address is volatile,
depending on which .html conversion
was last made via on button-click on
the page which is located over at:
>   http://www.z-m-l.com/go/vl3.pl

so, to ensure you've got "scrooge" at the
address listed above, click on that button.
(that'll be the "a christmas carol" button.)

ok, do you understand that is comparing
a converted .html file to a converted .pdf?

if you want to compare, compare .html to .html,
and .pdf to .pdf, because that makes some sense.

oh, and by the way, picking "my antonia" was
not a wise move, because i've done extensive
research work on that particular digitization.

so if you want me to onslaught it at you, let me know.

show me the "proper" markup to accomplish the mobi,
and i will edit the template so you can get that markup.

then have the .tei guys do what they would need to do.
because i'd love to see the mobi they get from their .tei.
