Just click on 'Plucker' instead of 'HTML'.
The only issue with that is that the last time I looked, the Plucker versions created by PG didn't include illustrations on books that had them. No surprise, given the number of possible options in resolution (lo-res vs hi-res), color support, and image size. I roll my own Plucker versions because I want embedded illos in full color. If you don't care about illustrations, and just want text, other good sources include Munseys and Manybooks. Both grab legally available source text from PG and elsewhere, and convvert it to a number of electronic formats including Plucker. Munseys: http://munseys.com Manybooks: http://manybooks.net Munseys tends to have old pulp stuff that hasn't been added to PG, and Manybooks offers an assortment of stuff issued under a Creative Commons license. > Christopher R.
