In the issue of PC Magazine, their “Top 100” web sites out of millions lists Project Gutenberg for being one of the best of the best Internet resources.
[Update 2017: the linked webpage is no longer available so I’ve removed the link.]
Project Gutenberg is among the very oldest electronic information providers in the world if not the oldest.
Tens of thousands of eBooks are available at PG sites www.gutenberg.org and www.gutenberg.cc as well as thousands more at the other PG sites in:
- Australia
- Europe
- Canada
- Portugal*
and new sites in progress in South America.
These student projects provide a real-world, hands-on opportunity to help bring this vast collection of new eBooks to a wider public, in more formats, with added functionality and usefullness.
* The gutenberg.org site has been translated into Portuguese. Portugal otherwise only has mirrors.
