| # The Reading Room All books are free. The links to the files are on their authors’ pages. The editions you find here were created exclusively for the Dunyazad Digital Library. Their native format is PDF. The plain text and ePub files contain the same text, but on a device with a large enough screen the carefully typeset PDF versions will give you the best reading experience. Currently the Library holds 76 volumes (5 of them in German), with a total of 25369 pages. For more information, see About the Library. Please leave a note in the Guestbook – share a thought, praise or criticize the librarian’s work, comment on a book, or just say hi!
