Project Gutenbberg releases 10,000th book
from their
website
bq. To celebrate Project Gutenberg's 10,000th eBook, the The Magna Carta, there will be a series of events in the San Francisco Bay Area in December 2003. Some events are RSVP, or by invitation, while others are open to the public.
bq. Help to celebrate this milestone, wherever you are, by giving away eBooks. Grab just a few of your favorites, or download an entire CD image. If you have the bandwidth and a DVD burner, grab the DVD image (4.13GB) with over 9500 eBooks! (It doesn't have all 10,000 because some are too big to include, and others are under copyright protection in the US.). Just think: if you give away 105 DVDs, you've given away ONE MILLION EBOOKS!
This is the organization that has been comiling the texts of public-domain books and making them available in a standardised format. Very cool stuff!!!
