What is an EOD Ebook?

An EOD eBook is a single full text pdf file of a public domain book digitised at the user’s request.
If applicable, the file contains the image of the scanned original book as well as the automatically recognised full text. Of course any marks, notations and other notes in the margins present in the original volume will also appear in this file.

Note: Books can also be ordered as reprints.
Here’s a Sample of an EOD Book (202 pages; PDF).
