Thanks for this. There are many useful volumes here but one of the most interesting to me was A Beginners Guide to Python 3 Programming (Hunt), which unfortunately is illegible. Both epub and pdf are of identical size as reported by the system (about 13K). Looked at in Emacs it seems to be some kind of binary index file. The hard copy book is 433 pp. Even plain text couldn't be compressed that much.
