PG CANADA STATISTICS
I have now included the PG-CA numbers into the overall stats. PG-CA works in
the same way as PG-EU. They have many books posted to both the main PG
arvhives along with their own. Therefore I am only counting the 'Unique'
posts, those that are posted only to the Canadian site, towards the 'Total'
number of PG eBooks.
500 AND RISING - THE AL HAINES MILESTONE
A short while ago I started a poll to see how many PG e-texts people have
read. If the votes can be trusted then there are currently over 36%, pretty
spiffy thought I, until I heard the latest from Greg Newby.
If you think reading several hundred PG e-texts is quite something then the
feat of Al Haines must be even more impressive.
This week Al Haines prepared and submitted his 500th e-book to
Project Gutenberg!
The Books of the New Testament, by Leighton Pullan 22459
[This is the 500th e-book prepared by Al Haines for Project Gutenberg!]
[Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/2/2/4/5/22459 ]
[Files: 22459.txt; 22459-8.txt; ]
[Clearance: 20070627150549pullan]
On behalf of Project Gutenberg I would like to send our congratulations
to Al on this fantastic milestone. I also have a message from Project
Gutenberg CEO, Greg Newby;
Al Haine is a highly valued volunteer who does quality work. His
contributions to the Project Gutenberg library are a pleasure to read, and
I always look forward to Als next title. His dedication to free online
literature is an inspiration.
SHAKESPEAREAN ACTORS WANTED
Along with the thousands of text files that Project Gutenberg has to offer
there are also many audio recordings. For many people these are great ways
to get to know the works of different authors.
Recently Michael Hart recieved a request from Tina Hansen,
"I notice that your site offers a number of audio books, both human
narrated and computer generated. I am pleased that you are adding more
books read by voice talent. I wish to suggest that adding a
human-narrated version of Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream
would be of value to anyone visiting the site. You do have this done
with an electronic voice, but I must be honest when I say that doing
any Shakespeare play with an electronic voice just doesn't sound the
same as it does when you get a group of competent voices together. The
electronic voices simply lack the nuances to make these works come
alive for the reader. Instead, the listener is likely to dose off.
Thus, I suggest that a call be put out for a version of this text done
by competent actors. I'm sure that there are plenty of theater groups
around the country who would be more than happy to take on this
project. Thanks."
As the son of a Shakespeare professor Michael Hart was in complete agreement.
Therefore Project Gutenberg would like to put out a request for any persons
or avid Shakespeare theatre groups to step forward and volunteer to make
these.
If you are unsure on how to go about making these recordings then visit
the LibriVox (librivox.org) website. There's lot of information on the website
to help you get started.
PRESS RELEASE: THE MOBILE LIBRARY

NOTES:
To arrive at the Newsletter statistics a manual count was done on all the
'posted' listings found in the Newsletter Archives. For PG-EU the website
listing was used. All these statistics were then entered into a spreadsheet.
DP-EU is currently concentrating on U.S. copyright clearable eBooks and
therefore many of these are posted to both the PG and PG-EU sites, non U.S.
clearable books posted to PG-EU only. Please note that only the non-clearable
('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and not the overall PG-EU total.
DP-CA - Like the European project this has many books posted to both the PG and
PG-CA sites, non U.S. clearable books posted to PG-CA only. Please note that
only the non-clearable ('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and
not the overall PG-CA total.
PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please 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.

================================================================================
German developer QiOO Interactive hosts the ‘Mobile Library’ – a service that brings classic books as well as modern literature to JAVA™-enabled cellphones. The portfolio ranges from Aristotle over Mark Twain to such extraordinary authors as Algernon Blackwood. As the founder Thomas Lucka states the Mobile Library will continue to release high quality books in the future – completely free of charge. Only older book releases contain a small amount of advertisment to refund the service.
Most of the newer books are launched in cooperation with Project Gutenberg. If people adopt the service there will soon be more mobile books available from Project Gutenberg. Depending on the file size of the texts provided by Project Gutenberg some books require newer phone hardware.
Along with the thousands of text files that Project Gutenberg has to offer there are also many audio recordings. For many people these are great ways to get to know the works of different authors.
Recently Michael Hart received a request from Tina Hansen,
I notice that your site offers a number of audio books, both human narrated and computer generated. I am pleased that you are adding more books read by voice talent. I wish to suggest that adding a human-narrated version of Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream would be of value to anyone visiting the site. You do have this done with an electronic voice, but I must be honest when I say that doing any Shakespeare play with an electronic voice just doesn’t sound the same as it does when you get a group of competent voices together. The electronic voices simply lack the nuances to make these works come alive for the reader. Instead, the listener is likely to dose off. Thus, I suggest that a call be put out for a version of this text done by competent actors. I’m sure that there are plenty of theater groups around the country who would be more than happy to take on this project. Thanks.
A short while ago I started a poll to see how many PG e-texts people have read. If the votes can be trusted then there are currently over 36%, pretty spiffy thought I, until I heard the latest from Greg Newby.
If you think reading several hundred PG e-texts is quite something then the feat of Al Haines must be even more impressive.
This week Al Haines prepared and submitted his 500th e-book to Project Gutenberg!

NOTES:
To arrive at the Newsletter statistics a manual count was done on all the
'posted' listings found in the Newsletter Archives. For PG-EU the website
listing was used. All these statistics were then entered into a spreadsheet.
DP-EU is currently concentrating on U.S. copyright clearable eBooks and
therefore many of these are posted to both the PG and PG-EU sites, non U.S.
clearable books posted to PG-EU only. Please note that only the non-clearable
('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and not the overall PG-EU total.

First Book is a site that aims to help literacy by giving children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first books.
This week Publishers Weekly reported on this very generous donation from Random House.
Flexing its philanthropic muscle, Random House is making a multiyear $1-million donation to First Book, the national nonprofit that supports literacy efforts. The donation, which is the most significant philanthropic contribution the company has made to date, grew out of a longstanding relationship the house has with First Book; the Random House Children’s division was a charter member of the organization and has been working with it for the past decade.
Die Handybibliothek (The Mobile Library) now has some PG branded books (in English) available on their website. These are FREE books availbe in the JAR and JAD formats. With the later you can download them “over the air”.
It would be great if anyone with a WAP enabled phone could check them out and let us know how they are.
There’s no doubt PG would not be where it is today without Michael Hart and the tens of thousands of volunteers from around the world. As you can imagine, it’s impossible to name every person. What Wiki Team member Ricardo F. Diogo has done is put together a page on the Gutenberg Wiki naming the people heading up the core parts of gutenberg.org.

TOP 100 HONORS PROJECT GUTENBERG
In the PC Magazine just now coming out, "The Top 100" web sites out of
millions lists Project Gutenberg for being one of the best of the best
Internet resources.
The Top 100 -- http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2168282,00.asp
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.
-- Michael Hart
THE @FOLIO PROJECT
by Marie Lebert, August 2007
@folio is a reading device conceived in October 1996 by Pierre Schweitzer,
an architect-designer living in Strasbourg, France. It is meant to download
and read any text and/or illustrations from the web or hard disk, in any
format, with no proprietary format and no DRM.
[Important] The technology of @folio is novel and simple, and very different
from other reading devices, past or present. It is inspired from fax and tab
file folders. The flash memory is "printed" like Gutenberg printed his books.
The facsimile mode is readable as is for any content, from sheet music to
mathematical or chemical formulas, with no conversion necessary for the
content, whether it is handwritten text, calligraphy, free hand drawing or
non-alphabetical writing. All this is difficult if not impossible on a
computer or any existing reading device.
The lightweight device is built with high-quality materials, and the LCD
screen takes 80% of the total surface and has low power consumption. The
screen is surrounded by a translucent and flexible frame that folds to
protect the screen when not in use. The data is downloaded through a USB or
Bluetooth connection.

NOTES:
To arrive at the Newsletter statistics a manual count was done on all the
'posted' listings found in the Newsletter Archives. For PG-EU the website
listing was used. All these statistics were then entered into a spreadsheet.
DP-EU is currently concentrating on U.S. copyright clearable eBooks and
therefore many of these are posted to both the PG and PG-EU sites, non U.S.
clearable books posted to PG-EU only. Please note that only the non-clearable
('Unique') eBooks are counted toward the Totals and not the overall PG-EU total.
PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms

later to other locations, including the main collection or The Project

Regarding the clunkiness or otherwise of e-book readers, I was absolutely delighted when I tried yBook, as mentioned in the George Davis article in the PG Newletter of 13 June 2007. You can tailor it to your own preferences in typeface, font size, type colour, background colour and texture, and other items such as margins, etc. I normally prefer to listen to e-books, but I do find that yBook has put me back into a reading mode. It also remembers where you got to last time, so when you open it up you have the right page before you, in a two-page display.
There’s no doubt PG would not be where it is today without Michael Hart and the tens of thousands of volunteers from around the world. As you can imagine, it’s impossible to name every person. What Wiki Team member
