Hi everyone, I have really enjoyed thus far the current collection of Mises Institute books available in ePub format, and was curious as to if anyone knew when we can anticipate a release of the four volume masterpiece of Rothbard's Conceived in Liberty set, or the complete Libertarian Forum in an ePub format release??
If anyone has updates or news about other upcoming Mises Institute books in the ePub format, I'd love to be in the loop! Thanks, I really do appreciate it!

I recently purchased a Barnes and Noble Nook and epub files look fantastic on it. I am getting very impatient with the rate at which Mises.org is putting up epub versions of their online books. I really would like to see a good version of Elementary Lessons in Logic by Jevons. The Library of Liberty is also adding epub versions to their database of ebooks, but it is slow as well.

Unfortunately, the PDF for both Conceived in Liberty and Elementary Lessons in Logic are scans, so you can't convert them to ePub yourselves. I imagine that, since the Mises Institute is publishing a new copy of CiL sometime soon, they'll have the opportunity to put the text and formatting into html and make an ePub version, so that might be available in the next few months. I wouldn't hold my breath for Jevons' book, but the Nook can handle the PDF, can't it?
And Solid_Choke, know that the OLL has a lot of their content in "EBook PDF", which already has the internal html code for an ePub or similar file, so you could use the program Calibre to convert from PDF to ePub. The only down side is that they have an annoying tag at the bottom of each PDF page, which doesn't get transferred over properly and can ruin the flow. It's not difficult to ignore it, though you could go into the html code and find+replace each instance of the tag with a blank space.

Well that was sooner than I thought.
Wow that was fast! Thanks so much for your help!!!
