This repository generates a usable e-book version of the 2019 "Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election". The book is generated in MOBI format for Kindles, and EPUB for other e-readers.
I created this because I think every American should read this report, and I wanted to do my part to make that as easy as possible.
This would not have been possible without the hard work of the New York Times transcribing the report. Their version can be found here, and includes a lot of helpful annotations as well as an "Explore By Person" index.
In respect for the work they put in, I've included their annotations in the generated e-book.
There are two formats of the book.
- The Amazon Kindle uses the Mobi e-book format. You can get a Kindle-friendly version of the book with the Download .mobi link above.
- Most other E-Readers use the EPUB e-book format. For these, you can download the book using the Download .epub link above.
Here is a site that provides some good rundowns of the various ways to get the downloaded e-book onto your device: How to Place an eBook on your Device
Since I started this project, someone else has published a similar e-book version for Kindles. Theirs is probably better (plus there's an audiobook!), but mine was first. 😏
Barnes & Nobile released a free EPUB version, but it's basically just the original scanned PDF, and really hard to read on a small screen.
In May 2019, The Digital Public Library of America released a free EPUB version with reflowable text and links to original documents referenced by the report. Please consider making a donation to support their work bringing "the riches held within America’s libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions" to the digital world.
