• Make free Gutenberg e-books easier to download for Kindle owners—and others with mobile devices

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 649
  Kindle owners can download free public domain books  directly at FreeKindleBooks.org , as I noted here recently. Why spend $1 and maybe even several dollars at Amazon for plain old public domain books that often are just the same titles with price tags added? Now Project Gutenberg volunteer Jim Adcock is ...

  Faster Future: Publishing possibilities now and beyond — Authority: 460
  I was at #Online09 ( Online Publishing ) at Olympia in London, to do a keynote in the Social Media Marketing theatre today. Im delighted to say (and perhaps its a sign of the times) that the room was packed - standing room only. They even stayed until the end :-) I was kicking around what happens when you ...

• Edgar Allan Poe: An anniversary, a Web site, an exhibit and a novel—The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 649
  Edgar Allan Poe , perhaps destined to be my state’s most famous writer for the eons, died some 160 years ago on Oct. 7, 1849. Just ten mourners showed up for his burial in an unmarked grave . One of the planet’s biggest Poe-haters wrote a lie-filled obit and, get this, served as his literary executor. Poe ...

• Harvard’s Darnton is right to fret over the Google threat to libraries—but why no recognition of Project Gutenberg?

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 649
  Historian Robert Darnton , the director of the Harvard University Library and author of The Case for Books , a valuable work in many ways, is right to worry about Google wreaking havoc on libraries. But here’s one mystery about The Case . While delving into the evolution of books, Prof. Darnton devotes not ...

• My e-book Thanksgiving list

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 649
  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! A number of other sites are doing Thanksgiving lists ( Ars Technica , Wired , another Wired , and Wired again on things not to be thankful for ), and I thought I would assay one of my own. Of course, we all know that we have a lot more to be thankful for than just ...

• Interesting resource – ManyBooks.net

  
  dria.org — Authority: 119
  A friend recommended a Project Gutenberg book last night*, but instead of linking to the Project Gutenberg site, he pointed me to ManyBooks.net . The site, which is apparently the work of one person, is a bit of an Amazon-like site for free ebooks, most (all?) of which appear to be originally sourced from Project ...

  Stupidica — Authority: 176
  " . . . it well appeared the famine must still ensue . . ." [i] Famine stalked The Pilgrims the first years. But their conquest of famine helped end old world feudalism.

• PGP: The House on the Borderland

  
  dria.org — Authority: 119
  The first book I’ve read for the Project Gutenberg Project is William Hope Hodgeson’s The House on the Borderland . This is a very strange, oddly compelling, and frankly bizarre novel in which two fellows travel to a remote village in Ireland for a fishing holiday. After a few days they run across a creepy ...

  314. Two nine-hour drives with my husband. Time for: 315. Much needed sleep. And 316. Eric Bibb . And 317. Till We Have Faces from Blackstone Audio. What a fantastic story! The only problem is we got home in the midst of disc six. I suppose we could have driven around the neighborhood until it was ...

• At Last! Someone Even More Fun than Sarah Palin to Pick on!

  
  The Chief — Authority: 548
  Take a bow, Matthew Continetti . By the way, heres Continetti about three and a half years ago . Its amusing to see someone so brazenly sell out by trying to corner the market on Palin apologetics so earnestly lament the selling out by fellow conservatives to lobbyists. Theres a difference to be sure, but one also ...

• On a Three Men Sequel

  
  Allyn Gibson — Authority: 128
  At work, sometimes we’ll sit around and kick around ideas for movies that need sequels. Like a sequel to Dave , the Kevin Kline film about a man, Dave Kovic, who fills in for the President of the United States. Well, last week, a brainwave struck me. We need a sequel to Three Men and a Baby and Three Men ...

  Dunno if you know it, but a Levitron is sort of a toy consisting of a magnetised board that creates a levitating effect with a magnetised spin. It’s an old idea and toy that explores magnetic properties to create the effect. You probably already saw something like it in display at stores, with levitating globes ...

  How to download free books directly via your Kindle’s built-in Web browser? Alas, Project Gutenberg and most other public domain sites aren’t optimized right now for devices with small screens and slow browsers. And free download guides—with links to public domain books—are not as easy and convenient to use ...
