Having downloaded them and taken a look, I notice that the ones I sampled don't have an active table of contents. The footnotes are also provided inline, which... given the way that footnotes work on readers isn't a horrible thing. But all in all, there's some significant work needed on them to make them convenient to use.Tuirginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081067215683168015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-56635099673402222302010-09-02T16:06:47.630-07:002010-09-02T16:06:47.630-07:00Hooray!

Earlier this year I came across the Bloom book and just had to buy it. Though the title is laughable, the book is excellent, and I will gladly defend his canonizing tendencies.<br /><br />The Bartleby books are to be read online and not on an ereader. For ebooks you'll need to either buy them, or see what can be found on Gutenberg, Feedbooks, and MobileRead.Tuirginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081067215683168015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-65795724114900141392010-03-24T05:30:18.589-07:002010-03-24T05:30:18.589-07:00Definitely looking up the poetry book and at least...Definitely looking up the poetry book and at least bookmarking the classics.
