These are all epub books in a variety of epub formats, not just (text) PDF.
Most are in mobi but some are azw/azw3 (only a few are in (text) PDF).

They are designed for readers.

(without having to select every single paragraph, which is ridiculous) to
my wired headphones for the trip on the plane.
