Look what I found:
books.google.com/books?id=awCJAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA423&dq=annals+of+king+taejo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gcHCU-q5Bs2VyATPq4D4Dw&ved=0CDYQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=annals%20of%20king%20taejo&f=false
The Annals of King Taejo has been translated into English and published in book form. Just released a couple of months ago. It was done by the same guy who translated Ryu Sung-ryong's "The Book of Corrections." He did a real nice job on that one so I'm sure this will is well-done too. From the preview it appears to be pretty dry in places; it's a literal translation of day-by-day events so there are a lot of mundane governmental details. But still it looks very interesting to page through, especially after having watched the Jeong Dojeon series.
Only problem is the price tag: can't get it any cheaper than $44 and that's from the power-abusers at Amazon. And it's a hardcover, too. So hopefully they'll come out with a less expensive paperback version eventually.
