       A short, overdue #introduction.I’m John, an academic #librarian working and living in #Christchurch, #NewZealand.Interests include #Classics and #AncientHistory (especially #Roman) and discoveries in #science.I enjoy #reading: mainly novels, across most genres and as #ebooks ideally (creating a personal library of out-of-copyright ebooks is a peculiar hobby of mine).I like #gardening in my small vege patch – Samuel R. Ogden from Vermont was a boyhood idol 😀

       @HMLivy Yes, and have downloaded a few from there in the past. These days, though, I largely look to the following: RSS feeds to Standard Ebooks and MobileRead, daily check of Fadedpage.com and Roy Glashan's Library websites. These tend to have better formatting and text checking, esp the 1st and 3rd of those. MR is a little more variable, but some contributors do an impressive job.
