First, Tips for the barbarian: How to ransack an etext/ebook library:1. Use a webcrawler software. I prefer Webreaper.2. Download All available files to hard drive.3. Take the time to a, Catalogue them , and rename them,if HTML files, Open them, resave them as complete HTML files (Amazon’s Kindle support cannot handle HTML files with external object. Be selective. This only works for archives where a html page has weblinks to txt or pdf(or HTML) files. It works poorly with links that require you to go into a webpage and do stuff for a download.
For the record, I believe, Like everyone else, that if there is no other way, it is good honorable and decent to pay for everything.
The following links will be added to as I find content. please visit often.
