ReadPal allows you to read PG texts a lot faster, more comfortably and with less glare.You no longer have to print a book to read it with ease and speed. It is completely free for personal use. Visit readpal.com to download.
For your reading pleasure ReadPal is also pre-bundled with a dozen popular PG texts here .
The AutoSkim feature removes up to 50% of words so you can skim faster. It removes words unnecessary for meaning. "The cat sat on the mat" become "cat sat mat". With a little practice you can read easily this way.
On the second Wednesday of 2007 the Project Gutenberg Newsletter will start another official year of recording the progress of an attempt to create a world public library on the Internet.This is because Project Gutenberg runs on a weekly schedule from the first Wednesday of each year to the first Wednesday of a new year, so the first weekly totals of the new year come out on the second Wednesday of that year, after the first production week.

** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT * IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT * IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT **
Modifications to the count of Project Gutenberg eBooks for 2007.
On the second Wednesday of 2007 the Project Gutenberg Newsletter will start
another official year of recording the progress of an attempt to create a
world public library on the Internet.
This is because Project Gutenberg runs on a weekly schedule from the first
Wednesday of each year to the first Wednesday of a new year, so the first
weekly totals of the new year come out on the second Wednesday of that year,
after the first production week.
There will be one particularly noticeable change, in that eBooks from Project
Gutenberg of Europe that appear in both the listing of PG of Europe and the
US public domain listings will now be in a mode that subtracts out the
duplications.
Due to poor communications I was uncertain as to how many of the PG of Europe
eBooks were actually also listed as in US copyright lists and appeared on both
European and American server lists.
Michael Cook, our new Newsletter Editor, has been very judicious in his efforts
to create the most accurate totals possible, so this new counting methodology
should appear for the first time on the second Wednesday of the
new year. . .i.e. next week.
As you may know, Project Gutenberg of Europe just celebrated the completion
of their 400th eBook, and I think you will be greatly surprised to find out
how many of these are included in the U.S. public domain listings.

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.
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.

Children's author Philippa Pearce, who was responsible for books such as Tom's Midnight Garden, has died aged 86 after suffering a stroke. The former BBC producer wrote her first novel, Minnow on the Say, in 1955, and her home – a Cambridgeshire mill house – inspired much of her work. Tom's Midnight Garden, about a young boy who finds a secret Victorian garden at his uncle's home, was among them. It sold millions of copies and was adapted for film, TV and theatre. It also won the British Library Association's Carnegie Medal in 1958.BBC News, 3rd January, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6227309.stm

The piece – about two minutes long – was played by Florian Birsak on a harpsichord in the Salzburg Residenz.

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.
