If you refere to Douglas Adams book and you are Douglas Adams and you didnt sell the exclusive publishing rights, then be oour guest.

Otherwise it would be a violation of copyright law.

But you can get it here:
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/eBooks/...p?BookID=71668

Or at most other mobipocket retailers.

Any chances of uploading more of his books? Specificaly, I was looking for The Big Foot (1927), The Strange Countess (1925), The Avenger (1926), The Day of Uniting (1926) and The Three Oak Mystery (1924) , but any addition would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Don't be an idiot.

That's rather harsh imo - they only asked a question after all (rather thoughtful it seemed to me)

I didn't call him an idiot. I told him not to be one. Someone really should NOT need to ask if it's "OK" to post a commercial book to this site, and it's pretty bloody obvious that HHG is a copyrighted work.

MobiPocket is a strictly "legit" site.

Sparrow · 01-11-2008, 08:40 AM

I think a lot of people might assume copyright expires on death - it doesn't seem an idiotic notion on the face of it.

But if someone's not sure, the correct thing is to ask -which they did.
I don't think there was anything in the original post, or their previous posts, to indicate the poster deserved censuring.

Even if they did deserve rebuking; you rightly wrote on a previous occasion:
"Please make your points in a polite manner."

HarryT · 01-11-2008, 08:48 AM

Forgive me if I get a little "hot under the collar" when someone wants to do something that would INSTANTLY get this site shut down. I care a great deal about MobileRead, and do not want to see that happen to it. The "Posting Guidelines" make it absolutely clear what is and is not acceptable to upload here.

Jeez, how hard is it to say "Sorry, I shouldn't have said it that way. You're right, we don't call each other idiots here."

How about a .mobi Poe omnibus? There's a nice five volume collection at PG.

May I add "Beowulf" - assuming I eventually get a Gen3 ( of course ) .......

Patricia · 03-25-2008, 12:28 AM

Beowulf is now uploaded in two different translations.
