This simple Perl script improves the formatting of public domain Project Gutenberg .txt files by removing unnecessary hard line breaks. This makes the files more suitable for use with the Amazon Kindle. To run the script, you need Perl installed on your machine. Look at http://perl.org for more info on that. The script takes the input file as the argument, and writes the output to STDOUT. You probably will want to redirect the output to a file, like so: $> perl gutenberg_to_kindle.pl input.txt > output.txt This script is provided without warranty, use it at your own risk, et cetera. The script is copyrighted by Paul Gorman, but you may download and use it for personal, non-commercial purposes. Happy reading! Paul Goramn http://paulgorman.org
