:: 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.

which now indexes 24,000 books available free online, including all
PG(US) & PG(Aus)'s books, along with some basic date information

We have been invited to peruse the various eBook collections
of the Internet Archive for potential Project Gutenberg eBooks.
http://www.archive.org
Don't worry, many of the numbers listed are out of date,
but you should get all the files when you pass through
to the original sites.
Click on "texts" to get started, feel free to pick up any
of the eBooks you would like to work on.
Many Thanks To Brewster Kahle and the Internet Archive!

Please visit and test our newest site:
"PROJECT GUTENBERG EUROPE"
http://pge.rastko.net [Project Gutenberg Europe]
http://dp.rastko.net [Distributed Proofreaders Europe]
*
There is an experimental online reader available.
Start from any bibliographic record page, e.g.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4300
Basically this paginates the .txt file and remembers your last position
in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file
where the encoding is known.
*
MACHINE TRANSLATION
We are seeking as much information as possible on the various
approaches to Machine Translation. Any brand names or contact
information would be greatly appreciated.
***
Please use our new site for downloading DVD and CD images, etc.
http://www.gutenberg.org/cdproject

The PG bittorrent tracker is up and running.
Aaron Cannon has placed the CD and DVD there if anyone wants to test.
You can access it by visiting

So far we have sent out 15 million eBooks via snailmail!!!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have a DVD burner
and are interested in lending a hand, please email Aaron Cannon

We can set you up with images, or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them directly
to readers whose addresses we can send you, or you can
do a stack of these and send the whole box back for reshipping.
We can also reimburse you for supplies and postage if you wish.
Please note that we can only use DVDs which are burnt in the dvd-r format,
as we have had some compatibility issues with the dvd+r format.

In addition: The Internet Public Library had a similar

happening with the IPL, please let us know. Inquiries,
made months ago, and again recently, have not turned up
any current information.
You can try a new IPL service at:

It would appear that The Internet Public Library ended
its first incarnation with about 22,284 entries, which
has now been surpassed by the Online Books Page.
Still looking for more Internet Public Library info.

*** Permanent Requests For Assistance:
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file)
listing Project Gutenberg eBooks and is available for downloading.
Do you have Public Domain books you would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner.
[Note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned.] We have high-speed scanners currently located in
the east, west and central portions of the US to make shipping easier.
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a project you would like to work on.
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet From http://gutenberg.org?
1.13 Trillion eBooks Given Away
If our average eBook has reached just 1% of the world population of
6,476,488,859 that would be 17,438 x 64,764,889 = ~1.13 Trillion !!!
With 17,438 eBooks online as of November 02, 2005 it now takes an average
of ~1% of the world gaining a nominal value of ~$.89 from each book.
[1% world population x #eBooks] 64,764,889 x 17,438 x $.89 = ~$1 Trillion
[Google "world population" "popclock" to get the most current figures.]
Our Target Audience Is 1.5% Of The World Population, or 100,000,000 readers.
With 17,438 eBooks online as of November 02, 2005 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.57 from each book.
This "cost" is down from about $.70 when we had 14,281 eBooks a year ago.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
At 17,438 eBooks in 34 Years and 04.00 Months We Averaged
~508 Per Year
42.3 Per Month
1.39 Per Day
At 2482 eBooks Done In The 301 Days Of 2005 We Averaged
8.2 Per Day
58 Per Week
250 Per Month
If you are interested in the population of the world or of the U.S.
you might want to know that these numbers, official as they appear,
are just just estimates, and perhaps not as accurate as we hope.
Recently the U.S. Congress, pertaining to district reapportionment,
who gets to vote for which Congresspeople, decided that many of the
districts were undercounted by 5%, perhaps then later deciding that
all districts had been undercounted by 5% [can't recall details].
However, I just this moment heard a news item that made me wonder a
bit more about the accuracy of the U.S. Census. A "Special Census"
is taking place in Normal, Illinois, that is expected to count more
people, by a factor of 3,000 or 3,400, depending on which source.
45,386 was the population as per the 2000 Census, so 3,000 added to
this would be an increase of 6.6%, and 3,400 would be 7.5%, above a
possibly automatic increase of 5% as per the same terms above but I
presume this is in addition to previous adjustments.
Of course, we should consider that we would have to double figures,
perhaps to 15% from those above, if are considering the normal time
between censuses of 10 years, these are for 5 years' growth.
In previous news I heard about the U.S. Census, no mention was made
about the annexation of various nearly locations as a cause of this
normally unexpected growth, but it is mentioned at the site I found
on the subject of the current Special Census.
If annexation is the primary cause of such increases, country wide,
then we should not be expecting a huge rise in the 2010 Census, but
rather should expect something more along the norm. However, if it
is not annexation, but more actual people on the average, then this
might be an indicator that the population of the U.S. may have seen
300 million go by some time ago.
For more details, see: www.normal.org/WhatsNew/Census.htm
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 5th was
the first Wednesday of 2005, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2004 and began the production year of 2005 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

Subject: [gweekly] Cheap Portable Terabytes
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.60.0511010737210.28487@pglaf.org>
CHEAP PORTABLE TERABYTES
Every Word In The Library Of Congress In A $100-$150 DVD Notebook?
It's possible.
Less than 24 hours ago I bought a couple notebooks at Fry's
that hold 200 and 320 CDs and/or DVDs respectively with one
of the Project Gutenberg Directors.
On the way home he calculated just how much data we will be
able to put in these notebooks.
Based on a 4.3G standard storage rate, and a 10.25G zipped,
with zip operating at about 59% compression you will now be
able to carry data as follows:
For ~$88:
200 DVDs Standard 200 x 4.3G = .86 Terabytes
200 DVDs Zipped Text 200 x 10.25 = 2.05 Terabytes
For ~$140
320 DVDs Standard 320 x 4.3G = 1.376 Terabytes
320 DVDs Zipped Text 320 x 10.25 = 3.28 Terabytes
At a cost of two for a dollar, 200 DVDs would cost $100
At a cost of three for a dollar, 200 DVDs would cost $67
At a cost of two for a dollar, 320 DVDs would cost $160
At a cost of three for a dollar, 320 DVDs would cost $107
The actual retail prices we paid is between at $.39 each,
or about 2.5 DVDs per dollar.
$.39 per DVD
$10 for the #200 notebooks
$15 for the #320 notebooks
$78 for 200 DVDs
$125 for 320 DVDs
Thus a notebook full of 200 DVDs costs $78 + $10 = $88
Thus a notebook full of 320 DVDs costs $125 + $15 = $140 today,
and could probably hold every plain text eBook that will be out
from all the various eBook projects combined for who knows just
how many years.
However, by the time you manage to fill such a notebook you can
be sure something will be available that will let you carry two
or three times as much just as easily and inexpensively.
