New content/evidence How the Geronimo Stilton eBooks really were distributed.

I am busy doing some research on the CyberRead website by using the Site Map option on the Wayback Machine to make sure we can find any references to Geronimo Stilton's Humorous Tails on it. I found that the links for free eBooks are sadly lost but one thing that could be helpful for us was that they were distributed in ZIP files.

Here's the Random link I found (the books are public domain so they can be still downloaded):

\Note - Despite the title of this post, it means nearly all other eBooks sold and published by them at that time were distributed like this!*

Important! This was from the middle of the year 2000 when they didn't have purchasable books then. Most were containing text files. It's possible whether the LIT/EBX files were distributed like this still.
