    Nice find. KB is the Swedish national library (kungliga biblioteket), but this appears to be an experimental site. Perhaps they're working towards putting pdf versions online. I checked their main site but couldn't see any obvious info or link.

      Seems so. That link site contains seven html-docs, one of them being the Afzelius dict, another one is a book by Strindberg on religion. These digitised books are part of a European cooperation of libraries called EOD = Ebooks on Demand (see here: http://search.books2ebooks.eu/) for more information.

      Not all of the ebooks are for free. I searched for Wyld's History of Modern Colloquial English. The Umeå University Library charges you SEK 697
