Public domain classics now in eBookWise-compatible format
Kudos to David Moynihan and his Blackmask site for making e-books–both for-sale titles and free public domain classics–available in the .imp format used by the eBookWise-1150 from Fictionwise. You can already buy a DVD with Blackmask’s PD titles in the new format, not just download them.
We 1150 owners–I have one on order myself–will enjoy other help. A new flavor of the GEB eBook Librarian will let us convert book from ASCII, HTML, Word and other popular formats. I’m all in favor of action in the here and now to address format concerns. Of course, the true solution remains OpenReader, so readers, writers and publishers can focus more on books and less on the technology. We still need to tear down the Tower of eBabel that makes so many people dislike e-books in their present form.
