Extremely short works, like pamphlets or individual short stories. For example, we wouldn’t accept Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” or Philip K. Dick’s “Mr. Spaceship.” However we are interested in complete compilations of short stories, for example our ebook of all of Philip K. Dick’s public domain short stories.
Non-fiction that is “dated” or not relevant to a modern reader. This includes obscure histories that are not otherwise notable and have been superceded by modern research, old-timey cookbooks, books of medicine, and textbooks, biographies of long-forgotten people that are not notable, non-fiction periodicals or journals, and so on. Note that “notable” means we may make exceptions, for example for The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire or The Gallic Wars or The Life of Samuel Johnson.

Ebooks which are not “notable” literature. While this one is a little subjective, we don’t want to become a dumping ground for any kind of transcription of any kind of public domain work. If, in our opinion, the author is extremely obscure, or the subject matter is of little interest to a general modern reader, we may decline it. For example, we would decline to host the Haslemere Museum Gazette, or Ocean Gardens: The History of the Marine Aquarium.
