Michael Hart wants IBM Memory Key's

Michael Hart is looking for one of the original “IBM Memory Keys” that have evolved into our current RAMsticks, USBsticks, etc., or even the UK version that existed before that. It doesn’t have to be functional…he just wants it for comparison purposes. Please contact Michael at hart@pglaf.org if you might be able to provide one.

FEATURED NEWS

SPECULATIVE FICTION, THE EARTH'S NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES

Projecting inferences of realities into a past or a future is a device often
used by writers to portray the 'effects' of prevailing circumstances or
events. Meyer (Mike) Moldeven, a retired civilian logistics analyst for the
U.S. Air Force, chose the distant future as the setting for his e-novel
'The Universe-or Nothing.' The work includes 'References' and an 'Afterwords'
section as context for his speculations.

Mike recently completed an essay 'NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES and SPACEFARING: A
Future History?' to update and expand on the original 'AFTERWORDS' section and
it may be freely downloaded at:

http://hometown.aol.com/yarnspinner88/myhomepage/politics.html

Briefly, in 'THE UNIVERSE-or Nothing' humankind populates the Solar System from
Mercury to beyond Dwarf Planet Pluto. Centuries of wasteful consumption of
essential industrial-base metals, minerals, ores and other nonrenewable
substances has brought the Solar Community to the brink of disaster. Retreat
is unacceptable. Humankind reaches for the stars.

The e-novel may be freely downloaded from the Project Gutenberg Archive

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 speadsheet.

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
Gutenberg Consortia Center.

In print forever? Sometimes, authors would rather go out of print

NEW YORK: The offer from Simon & Schuster seems ideal: Let us publish your book and it will never go out of print. Even if it sells just one copy a year, we’ll keep it available, thanks to digital technology.

And that, says the Authors Guild, which represents thousands of published writers, is unacceptable.

“A publisher is meant to publish, to get out there and sell our books,” Guild president, author and humorist Roy Blount Jr. said Thursday in a statement. “A publishing house is not supposed to be a place where our books are permanently squirreled away.”

Simon & Schuster, Random House, Inc. and Penguin Group USA are among the publishers who say that they are letting fewer and fewer books go out of print because of print on demand, or POD, which emerged a decade ago. Print on demand allows slow-selling titles to stay available by keeping them on a computer database and printing copies upon request, instead of keeping unsold texts stored in a warehouse, a system long regarded as costly and inefficient.

“We try to keep a book in print as long as possible, and print on demand now makes that easier than ever before,” said Hyperion president Bob Miller.

Sony Reader PRS-500

UPDATE: The Sony PRS-500 has now been discontinued – its replacement is a big improvement over this version. Check out my article on the Sony Reader Digital Book PRS-505

Possibly one of the most important advancements for eBook readers is the E-Ink® screen technology, and the Sony Reader is the first major commercial device to use it. This technology means reading is almost as natural as reading on paper.

The Reader is very simple to use and provides an excellent reading experience and with a battery life that lasts well over 7000 page turns you won’t be dashing back home to recharge.

Revamped Google Adds More Book Data

After a major redesign of its famous search engine, Google is introducing what it calls a “universal search” system that will combine search retrievals for each request and offer the most relevant results from across all of its specialized search engines, like Google Book Search, News and Images. As a result, books are more likely to come up earlier in a general search for a specific term.

In a second change, Google has added new bibliographic data to its search engines for millions of books provided by its partners, but that it has not yet scanned, data that will also show up in search results from both the regular Google search and from Google Book Search.

Speculative fiction, the Earth's nonrenewable resources

Projecting inferences of realities into a past or a future is a device often used by writers to portray the ’effects’ of prevailing circumstances or events. Meyer (Mike) Moldeven, a retired civilian logistics analyst for the U. S. Air Force, chose the distant future as the setting for his e-novel ‘The Universe-or Nothing.’ The work includes ‘References’ and an ‘Afterwords’ section as context for his speculations.

Mike recently completed an essay ‘NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES and SPACEFARING: A Future History?’ to update and expand on the original ‘AFTERWORDS’ section and it may be freely downloaded at:

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 speadsheet.

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
