Chess publishing has a history as long and interesting as the history of publishing itself. In 1474 William Caxton printed Game and Playe of the Chesse, the second book ever printed in English. The first was a collection of Trojan War tales, the third was a Korchnoi game collection.

Probably only of passing interest here, as the usual hardware/software packages discussed on MR aren't very useful for chess publications; but at least it's another publisher going the software route. Everyman is offering chess ebooks for sale in Chessbase format, which allows for interactive reading (shuffling pieces around the board, hopping through variations etc.).

One of my big disappointment with eBooks is the near total lack of chess books. I play, study, and buy chess books on a regular basis.

To me it seems like an ideal match. Trying to lug a stack of books around to a tournament that you'll likely never even look at is seriously annoying. An e-ink reader would seriously lighten the load.

Also, having an eBook open while at a board or at the computer would be great, but it doesn't seem to have caught on. There was one really decent chess book offered for the Kindle (on the King's Gambit) but it disappeared from Amazon a while ago and hasn't reappeared. The strange thing is, I think Amazon deleted the sample chapter from my Kindle as well. Thanks for the Chessbase links.

PG Canada has this: Znosko-Borovsky, The Middle Game in Chess, Third Edition (1938) Chess treatise: translated into English by Julius Du Mont (1881-1956) in HTML and Text. (scroll down to near the bottom of the page.) The copyright has expired in life+50 years countries. I have just converted and uploaded this book. I hope it is formatted well enough. The creator of the HTML file at Gutenberg Canada was rather clever in that he/she created the images of chess positions using a table into which they simply arranged the standard peices and set the background of the table to either white or grey. This made the HTML document much smaller than it would have been with 83 separate JPEGs. Unfortunately, of course, BookDesigner simply choked on it and I had to tediously recreate the individual JPEGs manually.

I also had to manually extract all the moves that the transcriber had so neatly placed into tables (which BD doesn't support either). I don't think I'll be converting chess books again soon (this one took me six hours) and I hope that whoever does is able to find ways to surmount these challenges.

Still, it was interesting and I hope you enjoy it. Xiyonat xaqida statuslar. I just checked Project Gutenberg where there are few chess titles and I see that some intrepid soul dutifully transcribed positions of a book by Lasker using 'ASCII art'.
