Celebrated Jumping Frog Leaps Again (Electronically)
Though long in the public domain, there’s no complete electronic version of Mark Twain’s debut book, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches, and Amazon’s Kindle store and iPhone app proved disappointing. So I took matters into my own hands.

Thanks for this document. I used to make files from the Gutenberg Project into NewtonBooks, back when that was the state of the art, and then I turned a couple of my own documents into iPod Notes documents when that came along. I’ll be interested in that epub formatting how-to when you get to it.
Thanks also for the Stanza instructions. I didn’t realize that it could share locally from the computer, much less that the iPhone could then pick it up there.
Project Gutenberg was my go-to site to find this book, but I was surprised to see that, like many sources, they had an electronic version of only the ‘Jumping Frog’ short story but few of the other sketches.
