Description

This torrent contains all of the major Star Wars novels released to date, as well as the ebook only novels I've been able to find. It does not contain the Young Adult novels, as I've been unable to find any decent copies to work off, and it also does not contain the movie novelizations.

For ease of use, the novels are sorted by era, based on what the galactic government was at the time. Hence, the Imperial era begins at the end of Episode III, and lasts until the end of Episode VI. This differs slightly from the official era classifications, but I prefer it this way.

IMPORTANT: If you like a book, please support the author by buying the book.
I recommend buying the real, dead-tree version and not the eBook.

Q: Why are you doing this?
A: I started doing this because I was dismayed at the quality of eBooks I could find, just getting them to a condition where it didn't hurt to read them. As I started spending some time on this, I thought that I could share my hard work with others.

Q: Help! The book won't read on my reader!
A: Some readers are not fully compliant with the ePub standard. The main cause for this that I have seen so far, is readers that use Adobe ADE (such as Sony PRS readers). ADE has a maximum limit for how large the internal files of an ePub can be. The easiest way to fix this, is to use Calibre to perform a conversion from ePub to ePub; this will split the internal files to smaller chunks (and add a whole lot of unncessary formating to the files).

Q: My reader only supports format , why are you only releasing in ePub?
A: ePub is a nice and open format, which makes it easy to work with. If you need another format, I suggest using Calibre to convert to the format you need.

Q: What are you doing to the books?
A: Basically, I copy the contents of a book from an existing epub into a new template, which will ensure proper and uniform formating and ToC generation. For some books, I do a more thorough job of verifying and adding as necessary the breaks and paragraphs that were not present in the original source; adding markup such as italics.
As I read the books myself, I use my Kindle to note where there are errors, and then go back in to fix these if possible.

Q: How are you doing it?
A: I use Calibre to keep track of my collection, and to convert between formats. After getting the books into .epub format, I extract the contents.
Instead of altering the existing files, I have a template I use to create a new book. This template has all the requisite hooks for chapters and ToC generation, so I then extract the content from the books, and run it through a special search-and-replace program I created to help me convert the symbols to better-looking UTF-8 symbols. I then clean up any extraneous formating, which is abundant in books created by word (or other WYSIWYG editors), or from Calibre's conversion process. Lastly, I run the new file through FlightCrew to ensure conformity to the ePub standard.

Tools:
* Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org)
* FlightCrew (http://code.google.com/p/flightcrew/)
* Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/)

Q: What are the versions?
A: All books that I deem fit-for-publishing start out as v1. If I make changes, either due to feedback, my own proofreading, updated meta-data, or any other reason I create a new version, to be bundled in the next update.

Q: Why won't you recommend retail ePubs?
A: There are two main reasons for this:
a) I have to date only found one single retail ePub that conforms to the ePub standard; all others have not passed verification.
b) The quality of several retail ePubs is very low, and has obviously never been proofread. My personal record is over 300 errors (mainly from bad OCR) in a single book.
c) Most publishers have this strange notion that a virtual copy should cost more then a physical copy (compared to paperbacks).
