-.- HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG -.-
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.org/find
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate
the one nearest to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.org/MIRRORS.ALL
If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search
page, and need additional information, please refer to the file
GUTINDEX.ALL, available for viewing or downloading at:
http://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL
That file contains descriptions and explanations about the filenaming
process, directory structure, file formats, and more.
And to directly access the file directories:
http://gutenberg.org/dirs/
Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the
process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to
Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook
number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing,
correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable).
These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below. More
information can be found in the file GUTINDEX.ALL mentioned above.

Can you imagine carrying all the books from a public library on your keychain?That became possible in 2006.
How about carrying the entire Library of Congress or British Library or any of the other great libraries of the world and that includes Le Bibliotheque Nationale de France.
That will be possible by 2020, with room to spare.

MOVING FROM 2006 TO 2007, PART 1 [extract]
by Michael Hart
Can you imagine carrying all the books from a public library on your keychain?
That became possible in 2006.
How about carrying the entire Library of Congress?
That will become possible well before 2020.
At prices we can afford, here is the timetable:
2000 = 32 Megabytes
2010 = 32 Gigabytes
2020 = 32 Terabytes
32 terabytes is larger than anyone's estimation of how much a collection as
large as The Library of Congress would take for every word to be stored in
your personal computer.
32 gigabyte thumbdrives made their appearance in 2006, enough memory in a
flashdrive to carry tens of thousands of books on a keychain. While these are
not year affordable to an average person today, they will be by 2010.
32 megabytes was the size of my own first USB memory stick in about the
year 2000, now pretty much of only antique value to someone such as myself,
but they still sell them at Target on the "impulse buy" racks next to the
checkout lanes for $5.

NOTES:
We have several counting methods that often differ by several books. There
is also some duplication between the various collections. Volunteers will
need to take these duplications into account.
The PG Australia total does NOT include PGAU eBooks posted at the U.S.
website; www.gutenberg.org.
The PG Europe numbers are possibly being counted twice (in PGUS and PGEU).
I am hoping to get this confirmed or denied soon.
PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that sometimes it takes a few weeks for entire collections to fully
appear in the PrePrints Section, thus the count sometimes jumps by a large
number when the files are eventually completed and added in. Also note that the
PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move later to other
locations, including the main collection or The Project Gutenberg Consortia
Center, etc. For example, on June 14, 200 WAP compatible cell phone eBooks
appeared, and will likely be moved to other collection points later.
The entire process of working out the details just to send them to the
PrePrints Section took well over a month.
Even with the speeded up process of the PrePrints Section, it still takes a
certain amount of time to collect and put such a large collection online in a
proper manner.

Singer James Brown, known as the "Godfather of Soul", has died at the age of 73, his agent has said. He was admitted to hospital in Atlanta after being diagnosed with severe pneumonia but died at 0145 local time (0645 GMT), said Frank Copsidas. The star was famous for hits including I Got You (I Feel Good), Papa's Got a Brand New Bag and Living in America. "He is such an influence, I learned so much from him," Mr Copsidas told the BBC World Service. He was dramatic to the end, dying on Christmas Day — Reverend Jesse JacksonBBC News, 25 December 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6208615.stm
