Mr. Standfast

I spent one-third of my journey looking out of the window of a first-class carriage, the next in a local motor-car following the course of a trout stream in a shallow valley, and the last tramping over a ridge of downland through great beech-woods to my quarters for the night. In the first part I was in an infamous temper; in the second I was worried and mystified; but the cool twilight of the third stage calmed and heartened me, and I reached the gates of Fosse Manor with a mighty appetite and a quiet mind. As we slipped up the Thames valley on the smooth Great Western line I had reflected ruefully on the thorns in the path of duty. For more than a year I had never been out of khaki, except the months I spent in hospital. They gave me my battalion before the Somme, and I came out of that weary battle after the first big September fighting with a crack in my head and a D.S.O. I had received a C.B. for the Erzerum business, so what with these and my Matabele and South African medals and the Legion of Honour, I had a chest like the High Priest's breastplate. I rejoined in January, and got a brigade on the eve of Arras. There we had a star turn, and took about as many prisoners as we put infantry over the top. After that we were hauled out for a month, and subsequently planted in a bad bit on the Scarpe with a hint that we would soon be used for a big push.

Il formato EPUB è uno standard libero e aperto che è stato sviluppato e pensato specificamente per la produzione di libri digitali. Il grande vantaggio di questo formato è che permette al testo di adattarsi automaticamente allo schermo del dispositivo di lettura, di aumentare o diminuire la dimensione del carattere, personalizzando al massimo l’esperienza di lettura.

Il Watermark DRM conosciuto anche social DRM include all’interno del file delle informazioni sul legittimo proprietario (per esempio nome, cognome, indirizzo email ecc.). L'eBook è quindi personalizzato ma a parte questo può essere letto su qualsiasi dispositivo compatibile con il formato scelto e può essere trasferito, copiato e stampato senza limitazioni di alcun tipo.
