Collected Works Woolf, Virginia: Complete Works | v.11.1 | Update 6 Feb 2024 - Page 2

I've just downloaded it and can only marvel at the amount of work you must have done. Thanks. Is there any chance of an lrf version as lrf looks much better on my old Sony 505. Peeps like you amaze me and put me to shame.

Bookcat - it's just as easy for you to convert it to LRF as it is for anyone else. Simply convert it using Calibre.

BookCat · 09-30-2012, 04:16 PM

Calibre, for all its virtues, isn't as great as the people who produce such beautiful ebooks on MR. I always lose the clickable chapter headings and contents page. I can use Calibre for converting PDFs, but even then, I have to do a few versions before I get the text size right.

Thanks for suggestion but you give me more credit as a techie than I deserve.

Props to you for writing the most tactful bug report I've ever read.

Hi BookCat,

thank you for the compliments. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you, as I have no experience converting epubs to lrf.

Regards, pynch.

Hallo pynch, wäre es ein Problem, wenn ich die lrf-Version hochlade? Es ist eine reine Calibre-Konvertierung, ohne weitere Veränderungen.

BookCat · 10-02-2012, 01:22 PM

If you don't speak german and want to know what Billi is saying, copy and paste into Babel Fish. I had to do this, but I'm not sure whether Billi would want me to give the translation.

Billi · 10-02-2012, 01:30 PM

Sorry, it's no secret at all. I asked pynch if he has any objections if I would upload the lrf version of "his" book. It just feels terribly wrong to talk to a German in English and not in our mother tongue, at least for me.

pynch · 10-02-2012, 01:34 PM

As Bartleby might have put it: “I would prefer you wouldn’t.”

Calibre is precisely what I use for the different versions of all the books that I upload. It works just fine. Why not try it and see?

Pynch:

Just downloaded your Woolf compilation. Magnificent! Thank for your efforts. It's truly a treasure.

I could finally add the last missing story, “A Dialogue upon Mount Pentelicus” that I transcribed from an online scan. Additionally, I corrected hundreds of mistakes and improved the formatting of “Roger Fry”. And last but not least, I replaced the cover. To those who justifiably complained that the old one was difficult to read: this one’s worse!

Spinnenmonat · 02-03-2013, 11:58 AM

Thank you so much for your revision! But i am still missing the old cover...

May I ask why? (why you changed it, not why it is difficult to read, that's too clear (no pun intended) )

medard · 02-03-2013, 12:42 PM

The new cover looks stunning. Thanks a lot.
