As for the rest of them, the answer is... all over the place, some PDF, some not. Here are some of the webpages that I remember using, however.<br /><br />http://grace-ebooks.com/Home.html<br />http://www.puritanlibrary.com/<br />http://www.gracegems.org/BOOKS.htm<br />http://www.puritan-books.com/index.html<br />(I didn't actually use any of the books he carries, because he charges for them, and I assume he did the hard work of scanning them himself. But I got every volume of Joseph Caryl's commentary on Job for $6 from him in scanned PDF format, and it's worth every penny.)<br /><br />I wish I could remember the rest. A lot of times I just really wanted something by a certain author and I searched until I found someone with it on their webpage for free and then I just made the eBook from their formatted HTML. Really every eBook has its own story, and I did most of these over a year ago.<br /><br />I should also note that you can get a'Brakel's magnum opus "A Christian's Reasonable Service" off of this page absolutely for free in PDF format:<br />http://www.abrakel.com/p/christians-reasonable-service.html<br /><br />I have created a Kindle version of all four volumes for my own use, but until I get permission from Joel Beeke (which I have requested, although he has way more important things to do than answer some email about a Kindle book) I won't be distributing it here as a Kindle file.Adam Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826908205996140341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-75310718473098130512011-06-09T18:54:09.766-05:002011-06-09T18:54:09.766-05:00Adam,

I try to collect any good books, such as the ones you have converted, as PDF's whenever I find them around the web. I'm seeing many titles in your other puritan post's that I haven't been able to find thus far. Would you be able to point me to some of the places that you got your original text from to be able to make the kindle books? Are they mainly from PDF's or html pages?<br /><br />Thanks!Bentley Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140806606959682294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-2030811778690903192011-06-07T10:44:46.760-05:002011-06-07T10:44:46.760-05:00I see.

Doh :-) If I'd seen that, I wouldn't have bothered you with this.<br /><br />So I sense you're saying that you will not be updating them. Fair enough. <br /><br />In case it may help other readers, first, here is TurretinFan's page linking to Google books and Archive.org sites for the other books. <br /><br />http://turretinfan.blogspot.com/2009/03/ante-nicene-fathers-schaff-index-page.html<br /><br />Sadly, using he tMissing Vol 4 as an example, none of the Google Books links offer a Kindle-formatted version. But the archive.org page for Vol 4 does. <br /><br />As for vols 6, 8, and 9 (missing above), when I look at the archive.org Kindle versions of them (as linked to by Turretinfan), those do not have the nice "active table of contents" Adam had added in his version (though volume 4 there does). <br /><br />Hope that's helpful to someone.Charlie Areharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716082427038966807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-49024042481624944912011-06-06T16:36:19.131-05:002011-06-06T16:36:19.131-05:00Charlie,

As for the missing volumes, I believe that Turretinfan didn't have them at the time I was making these, and I never bothered to try tracking them down.Adam Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826908205996140341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-11724018984147310662011-06-06T15:35:40.787-05:002011-06-06T15:35:40.787-05:00Oh, just noticed now it's also vols 6, 8, and ...Oh, just noticed now it's also vols 6, 8, and 9.Charlie Areharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716082427038966807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970683153008645393.post-23962828767892274232011-06-06T15:34:01.934-05:002011-06-06T15:34:01.934-05:00Thanks for the effort, Adam.

Very much appreciated.<br /><br />As for the missing volume 4 (in the Anti-Nicene list), is that just a mistake or was it not found in your source? I tried to help myself and others here, but could not.<br /><br />First, since the URLs use random characters, we can't try to guess at what it may have been if it was just missing by mistake. <br /><br />Second, when I visited the link to the TurretinFan site you reference, yours is a link to just the front page, not some page listing the books. I used the search feature on his site, but searching anti-nicene turned up no results.<br /><br />Any help appreciated.Charlie Areharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716082427038966807noreply@blogger.com
