Open Library has some Gregg Shorthand eBooks that you can borrow for free and read with the free Adobe Digital Editions application. There are several Gregg Shorthand books that are not in the…
Here are four files for testing the concept of eBook formats for shorthand, two in epub format and two in mobi (Kindle) format. The files have not been optimized for mobile viewing. If anyone has a mobile device, I would like to know how they render. They don’t look bad on the PC, but on…
