Palm-leaf manuscripts or sleuk rith as they are known in Khmer language, can be found in Cambodia since Angkorian times as can be seen from at least one bas-relief on the walls of Angkor Wat. While they were of a major importance until the 20th century, French archeologist Olivier de Bernon estimated that about 90% of all the sleuk rith were lost in the turmoil of the Cambodian Civil War while new supports such as codex books or digital media. Since then, conservations efforts have been made in pagodas such as at Wat Ounalom in Phnom Penh.[15]

You may click on the download link given at the bottom of the page and the download page will open in a new window from where you can download the books. (Almost all ebooks are uploaded to my folder at mediafire.com and only the links are given at this blog).
Thanks for all the selfless efforts to upload all these books for the welfare of humanity. May I make a request, if it is not too much. I have heard of Ekanath Bhagavatham, which was written by Sant Ekanath in Marathi in obedience to the instructions of his Guru Janardhana Swamy. This book is a treatise on the 11th Skantha of Bhagavatham. Have you heard of its translation in Malayalam by anybody and where is it available.
This endeavor is highly appreciated. Which software is used for typing malayalam here, if i can practice and participate in this. The Thunchathezhuthachan e-book
seems to be not available to download. Can you please enable it.
Let me first appreciate the efforts taken to publish so many valuable e-books.
I have been seaeching for Devi bagavatham Malayalam in different web sites but could not find it any where. It will be great if this can be published with malayalam explanations and slokas.
I also have tried to find a copy of Devi Bhagavatam published before 1930 (so that it will be free from copyright). It is very difficult to get copies of old religious books. I found that a digitized copy of Devi Bhagavatam Malayalam translation by Kandiyur Mahadeva Sastri published in 1927, is available at Kerala Sahitya Akademi. Their site shows the availability of this book in their digital collection. But, its link is disabled. So, we cannot download it from there. I am giving below link to relevant page in the digital library site of Kerala Sahitya Akademi.
Sirs,
I have gone through the converted pages of some of the books.
I hear that the Malayalam University is converting the typeface to the old style where the joined characters are to be used as phonetic characters. Also the setting of old text to new typestyle is very cumbersome. It is also possible to find more proof readers for the texts if the old style of malayalam font is used. In fact we have been typesetting Malayalam text in old style for our publications for the last 15 years and we still use the same and the work speed is also not so difficult to achieve. In fact use of ISM and Srilipi could be suggested. The use of webfonts is cumbersome and when downloaded they may or may or maynot work.
Please let me have your views.
