As per title of the thread, I'm looking for electronic versions of The Story of the Stone, either simplified or traditional, which:
1 - State clearly at the beginning which edition it is, as there are a few to choose from.
2 - Is non-DRMed, so that it can be loaded into Pleco.
3 - Contains all the 120 chapters.
I found one on Apple Books (simplified) that seems to be the one used in the Yang translation, but, though it's a free ebook, it's DRMed. Meanwhile the one in Project Gutenberg is clearly a traditional version that started it's life as simplified, as there are remnants of simplified text inside. It's also a different edition, but doesn't say which one. I also have the Hawkes translation, but that one is, as the translator said in his intro, based on many different editions of the original.
Any input greatly appreciated.
