ok, jim, i downloaded your "magic" catalog.

for anyone else who hasn't downloaded it,
this "magic" catalog is just a file with a link
for every p.g. text.  i appended a few lines
from it to this e-mail so you can view them.

(there's just like what i'd suggested to jim.)

anyway, i find that jim's files contain links
to all the e-texts in the entire p.g. library.

so now i'm perplexed, jim.  why don't _you_
just offer the files to the kindle community?

you've already _done_ all the work required.

sure, i agree with you that it would be better
if p.g. itself would just churn out these files,
especially since they'd be constantly updated.

but if marcello isn't willing to do that for you,
why don't you just release your files to the wild?

heck, i'd even think you could charge a dollar
or two for these files, and release them as
kindle-books, available in the kindle store,
and make a few bucks to subsidize your work,
not to mention help out the whole kindle scene.

that is the kind of direct action that michael hart
always strongly encourages in the p.g. volunteers.

as another thought, i'd suggest that you submit
your files to p.g. as an e-text for the p.g. library.
