Speaking of all the page scan stuff, Octavo.com is selling PDF's of various old books on CDs. The prices vary, for example, Hooke's Micrographia is "only" $30, while Shakespeare quartos are $75-$100. (I guess the people coming to this store don't know Gutenberg already has these books for free, or they need page numbers or one of the other excuses.) But except for the selling thing, is this kind of what the archived page scan discussion is leading to, or will it be much more complicated? -Stefanie
