Im looking and have found some e-books in djvu format. Im still looking for good repositories of these kind of books (like a Gutemberg project with djvu). Does anyone can point me toward some? Maybe in altenative networks like gopher.
I hope to get rid of pdf in a near future.
Thanks a lot
The Mobi e-book file format is touted to be an 'open source' e-book file format. But what is wrong with pdf???? It may not have the font antialiasing of other formats. But is so much more easily accesible to more...

I will look for this mobi format. Thanks.
Pdf is terrible, for it is too big. Just that. I could blame all my machines, but if I can use a better format like this djvu, I have a way better experience. The difference sometimes can be 20Mb to 4Mb for some books with colored pictures. For me it matters.
I could find lots of physics and math books in djvu format. In pdf they were terrible to read. Now, Im looking for literature books. That's the reason for looking at the repositories.

I want to add the browser plug-in for Ubuntu Firefox 1.1. Is that possible. It doesn't show in synaptic main, restricted or universe list.
Mobipocket is mostly for PDAs and cellphones, and is unavailable for linux or mac. go figure!
Post Djvu bookpublishers here if you know of any..
