Guilty as charged ... ;)

Didn't run into that one, looks interesting. First time I've seen non-copyrighted books in djvu form. Up to now I've only seen project Gutenberg and opensourced books and since the text file is available they are generally distributed as text of pdf although I've just checked and there are quite a few others these days, djvu is not one of them (I think that it's optimized for scanned texts)
In high school I found some nice books about magic circa 17th century, how to summon demons in such in the huji library in one of the collections. Wonder if they are up there also (although damned if I know where to find a proper sword for the spell)
Perhaps you meant that modern, copyrighted books are not generally legally available in djvu format.
You read my mindAnd if you look at the title the OP mentioned it doesn't seem to be out of copyright or opensource

I’d like to read this book on Kindle Although can't say I like the way amazon handles kindle. Good idea, too restrictive.This one looks nice though once the price drops enough and I think that it runs linux BTW
