Unfortunately the format of most ebooks at Project Gutenberg is usually really bad. Usable on computer screen, but unusable on eBook readers.

Just checked the "mobi" version of the volume 1 from this link, and it looks like all paragraphs are just walls of texts with no paragraphs and the footnotes don't really work unless you scroll manually. I guess it's better than nothing, but not very comfortable to read.

Usually it's even worse with text from the margins, header than footer getting mixed with the normal text.

Does anybody know if there is a website or project where one could find "curated" or properly formatted books with expired Copyright? Maybe one where other people can collaborate?
