I love, love, looove the fact that I can have a book's html version on project gutenberg bookmarked and continue to read across devices without ever having to login. I use the browser's inbuilt capability extensively to enhance my reading experience (fonts, backgrounds, text to speech, print formatting, share snippets). None of this is a good experience with pdf, epub or any other format.

I've read more (meaningful) text on PG than any other digital platform. Huge fan. Thanks for all the work and for keeping it clean and free

Interesting. Do you "just" use the browser's built-in capabilities or also some browser extensions?

I just use the built-in capabilities these days as everything that I would need is in there. This was not true many years ago when I did use some browser extensions.
