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
Gutenberg Consortia Center.

NEW YORK (Reuters) reported that publisher HarperCollins said on Wednesday, it will be making 14 new book titles available for Apple’s web-browsing iPhone in an effort to extend publishing into digital formats.
Books being made available include; “The Burnt House” by Faye Kellerman, “Now and Forever” by Ray Bradbury and “Obama” by David Mendell.
It has been said before that we need an iTunes equivelent for books. Could this HarperCollins/iPhone venture be the boost eBooks need? I myself am not a huge fan of Apple but if this were to help push eBooks to the forefront of consumers minds, then I’m all for it.
Thousands of literary texts are now available online, all submitted by volunteers. Is this the most enlightened initiative since English studies was invented? John Sutherland wrote an interesting article for the Gardian Unlimited back in July.
In this article he make mention of Project Gutenberg along with several other online projects.
Here’s a short extract to wet your tastbuds;
This summer, I suspect, a student will graduate from a good university with an excellent degree in English. No rarity there. The degrees get better every year. Too good, some cynics say.
Einstein said that the most important decision you ever make is whether you live in a friendly universe or a hostile universe– in a positive universe or a negative universe.
This relates very strongly to what is perhaps the greatest idea I came up with in all my college years, which was that you make more difference in the world taking something good and making a better thing out of it than by undoing something bad. . . .
When we describe our heroes and superheroes, we often described them only in terms of the bad things they have undone.
However, this is not ALWAYS the case, as TIME magazine managed, in an era of fairly unprecedented biased journalism, to elect a “Person of the Millennium” who had actually taken a good thing, A VERY GOOD THING. . .books. . .and MAKE THEM HUGELY BETTER.
Herr Gutenberg did not have to think he was undoing some evils, all he had to do was think of making more books, better books– faster books, etc. . .as more books were published in just that first fifty years of his invention’s use than in all of history for five thousand years.
The pundits all ask, “Why aren’t eBooks a success?”
But their queries show a ridiculous bias when their form and content always come down to the dollar.
The almighty dollar.
A Reply To All Those Pundits by Michael S. Hart.
What If A New Product Just Doesn’t Cost Anything?
If the pundits had asked the same way about success for The Gutenberg Press, they should have spoken in just about the same manner, since at Gutenberg book pricing the new books cost only a small fraction of one percent of the price of pre–Gutenberg books.
Thus, the total cash paid out for these new fangled books was nothing compared to what price would have been paid under the old manuscripting systems.

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.

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.

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

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
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

Only Professionals Should Be Trusted
That’s the main message of “The Cult Of The Amateur.”
Of course, as soon as one even looks at the structure of this thought it becomes obviously a circular point in an argument whose logic is from the circular file.
The author wants us only to pay attention only to him and his cohorts. . .if he were in a different field a similar argument would be coming from him concerning, and recommending trusting, only members of that field to which his success belongs.
On Canada Day 2007 the new Project Gutenberg Canada went live! As one would expect the site multilingual in both English and French.
To celebrate their opening they released a “baker’s dozen: thirteen ebooks” which were specially created for the launch. With Canada’s copyright at life+50 years, they will likely be producing some new books than countries with longer copyrights.
