There are two separate ideas I have suggested:

Make “friendly” versions of the landing-pad pages that don’t have frames nor images nor a lot of extra goop that is compatible with ebook readers and other small format devices.

Make a “friendly” version of the PG website that doesn’t have frames nor images nor a lot of extra goop that is compatible with ebook readers and other small format devices. [mnybks.net being an example of this second approach]

Again, Magic Catalog, in either MOBI or EPUB format at http://www.freekindlebooks.org/MagicCatalog/magiccatalog.html, is an example of such a “deep linking.”  I’d rather that it use ebook reader friendly landing pad pages, rather than direct “deep linking” but one cannot use something that doesn’t exist.

No offense, but it seems silly to “officially discourage” something when one is not willing to provide a viable alternative.  Or else, simply admit that PG continues to remain hostile to the ebook community – which to me is also seems silly – every machine and every machine manufacturer, whether it is Dell, or Apple, or Mickysoft, or Amazon, or Sony, or what have you – each of these machines and manufacturers comes with its own particular mix of good and evil, and it seems to me the best approach is for PG to remain agnostic to the users choice of reader machine – and to try to support those machines which people are *actually* reading books on!  Certainly the idea that cellphone companies don’t come with their own mix of good and evil is highly laughable!
