In my mind, the ones without HTML (and put the entire legalese at the front of the doc) are in some sense "lost to history" because they aren't nearly as readable.
That could easily be done. We have to make HTML on the way to producing EPUB. So technically we just could spew out the HTML before packaging the EPUB. But I don't know if it *should* be done ... The problem is: Nobody has ever been able to generate even barely palatable HTML from PG TXT. For EPUB we can justify the ugly conversion because on most ebook readers and small screens ill-formatted EPUB is still better than TXT. But HTML is supposed to be viewed on browsers and big screens, so ill-formatted HTML will be worse than TXT. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
