Here’s the backstory: My parents got a Kindle for Christmas, and I’ve looked into ways for them to read public domain books on it, and the interfaces for browsing for books and transferring them are non-optimal. First, I tried emailing books to the Kindle,<\/a> which worked for me, but it was too complicated for my parents.<\/p>\n

Then I found the Magic Catalog,<\/a> an ebook index of Project Gutenberg books, linked up so that you can immediately download books and add them to your Kindle, without using a computer or Amazon. It’s in a useless order, though – it’s not sorted by the book title, or by author.<\/p>\n

So I thought I’d fix that. Here’s the prototype, sorted by the author’s last name!<\/a><\/p>\n

This is my first ebook, so please forgive the rough edges.<\/p>\n

Update, 2013-02-20: I made major revisions, to the formatting and to the data. The authors’ names were mangled in spots.<\/p>\n
