You really should remove the PGA Australia blurb and the yellow background.

dpierron · 07-20-2009, 01:11 PM

I don't know... I just wanted to convert the original web page to something usable on our readers, with no unnecessary editing...
The PGA blurb is useful to know where the material came from, isn't it ?
And I didn't even notice the yellow background (I've got a lousy Dell LCD and my PRS-505 is greyscale).

I edited the ePub file to make the Project Gutemberg Australia stuff less obvious, and I removed the adverts at the end of the file (sorry for not having seen them before).
Also, I set the font to Liberation Sans Serif, and embedded it. This way, it looks better, and also serves as a font test e-book

(and I removed the yellow background)

thank you, that looks much better.

When I open it in Stanza or Adobe digital editions, I see the author as "unknown".

mores · 10-07-2009, 04:43 PM

Okay, in Calibre I can see the Author is actually "unknown & Antoine de Saint-Exupéry", somehow it shortens it.

Thanks for this illustrated version. My son gets all kinds of Little Prince things from people and I must confess I've never read it, at least not actively. My mom read it to me when I was younger, but all I can recall are the images

Now I can have text + images. Awesome!

Thanks so much dpierron! I read this in my French IV class in high school. Sadly my French is practically non-existent now and I'm hoping to get back up to speed. Looking forward to reading this delightful book again. Take care.
