I'm blowing my own horn here, but I just finished a new version of Read<br>
Etexts that might be worth a look. The new version has a "Books" tab<br>
that lets you search the Project Gutenberg offline catalog and download<br>
titles to the Journal. Gutenberg has lots of Juvenile books as well as<br>
well known books by European authors in their original languages. I<br>
posted it on ASLO yesterday, with new screenshots.<br>
<br>
In addition to the catalog search, if you run it on SoaS you can use the<br>
Speech tab to read the book aloud with word highlighting. Many<br>
different voices are available, so for instance you could use a French<br>
voice for the works of Dumas and Verne.<br>
<br>
The books are plain text, no pictures, but if I say so myself Read<br>
Etexts has become impressive in a way it never has been before.<br>
<br>
For books with pictures you could suggest a visit to the Internet<br>
Archive website to get books in PDF format that Read could use. There<br>
are some remarkable PDFs of scanned in book pages there.<br>
