Tenzin (tenzinla) | 16 comments Someone graciously pointed me to a few of Haruki Murakami's short stories that have been publically published. I have converted them to just about every format that I could think of from ebooks to plain old PDF's. Some of the stories converted fairly easily (I just had to take out some advertisements) while others I had to almost go line by line. Please let me know if I have made any formatting errors. Here is the link

it includes: The Folklore of Our Times, Drive My Car, A Walk to Kobe, Sheherazade, Town of Cats, Samsa in Love, U.F.O. in Kushiro, and Kino.

Since I gathered these all from public websites and merely converted them into other formats, I don't believe I am 'releasing' anything Mr. Murakami would object to. Please let me know if I have missed any formats that you would like, or if you feel any (or all) of these stories should not be public in other formats.

Kikyosan | 11 comments thanks for your hard work.
Even if I own these short stories, I really appreciate the covers you added, most of them are more stilish than the official italian ones.

Tenzin (tenzinla) | 16 comments I usually used the artwork that the author approved of for the various publications or what was found using Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/).

Kovid Goyal (the main author) usually updates Calibre every week! He is really the man! I try and make a small donation (sometimes US $5 or $10 every couple of months. I love that it will actually go out and convert tons of Newspaper sites and email it to your @kindle.com address. BBC publishes in hundreds of languages and it's nice to try and 'keep up' with languages I studied once in a while.
