An oblique reference was made to Project Gutenberg by aland in a comment really innovative on the trollyd sound system.
For more information on PG see my Project Gutenberg favourites page.
He mentions 1,000 books on a CD. This was a giveaway CD that PG produced last year at an College American Football game [attendance: 100,000], hence “The Million Book Giveaway”. I have a copy of the ISO image which hesitate to put on because of bandwidth issues [gz of 640Mb CD image about 250Mb].
I am however more than happy to burn a CD [which will work on Linux, Apple and other [I believe there are other] OSes] for the cost of a blank CD [approx 20p].
If you’d like a good proportion of pre-1923 classic literature [and much much more], let me know and I’ll burn you one.
