Even if you're like me, that is someone who believes that a book has to be held, and felt, and smelt, and touched, and folded, and slept with, who absolutely cannot comprehend the idea of e-books, and only sees it as an efficient storage mechanism and has to print them before reading them, you will still appreciate the effort these folks and Project Gutenberg are doing. With the mission of 'preserving the literary history of the world in a freely available form for everyone to use', Project Gutenberg makes available over 20,000 free e-books in their online book catalog and another 100,000 titles through their partners, affiliates and resources. And all of it is volunteer work. You can help by:
- Help Proofread a Book (something that I do)
- Procure Eligible Paper Books
- Burn CDs and DVDs for People Without Internet Access
- Donate Money
- Promote Project Gutenberg on Your Web Page (see the banner at the bottom of my sidebar on the right)
Oh and if you are the e-book sort, knock yourself out! you've found your holy grail ... and they have special formats for those who want to read books off their palms (weird! but I actually know someone who does that!)
