All the books are available as single html files, and also as plain text files. In addition, many are available as Microsoft eBooks, which are quite good for those with limited vision, as they can be read aloud by your computer as they stand. In addition we also can provide marked up texts for reading with Fonix ISpeak. The mark-up is to provide the correct pauses between paragraphs, and also to provide the correct (mid-Atlantic) pronunciation for words ISpeak has difficulty with.

Microsoft eBooks

To read books as Microsoft eBooks, you will need the Microsoft eBook Reader, which you can download free. This can also be extended so as to read the books aloud. We have converted all of these books to Microsoft eBook format, which can be emailed upon application.

Note that the transcription into e-text form was done by scanning the oldest available text, often a first edition, or a very early one. The texts were then converted using TextBridge OCR, and proofed using our own software. They were then read carefully, but errors creep through and we do not claim perfection. Texts may therefore be updated from time to time.
