FYI, I’ve finished updating the formatting on the Journal of Discourses. They’re still pre-release editions, but they look better now, for what that’s worth. (And someday I’ll be able to say that they’re typo-free. I’m seriously looking forward to that day.)

On a related note, I threw together an experimental Complete Journal of Discourses edition to see if iBooks and the Kindle could handle something that massive. Twenty-six volumes at around 375 pages each comes to roughly 9,750 pages. Gargantuan.

iBooks loaded the EPUB just fine and had no problems loading chapters quickly from the table of contents, but the list of chapters was so long that it really wasn’t practical. Far better to just load the separate volumes individually.

And my Kindle Touch choked. It died a horrible death, completely freezing before it ever displayed a single word, and the only way I could unfreeze it was a hard reset (holding the power button for thirty seconds). Sad.
