As you have identifiers for Amazon, Project Gutenberg, etc. is that a possibility? Initially, one for Wikisource, though ultimately also one for Wikidata. As WS gets metadata in wikidata, then there is scope for the two systems to interact (at some distant point of time).
To note that the link is an html rendition, but from there it allows for a live epub/pdf generation (those available at this time) from and of the corrected text and images.
