I am working on a FLOSS Manual on E-Books, specifically aimed at teachers and students working with One Laptop Per Child. I have some experience in this area, because I wrote the Activity that XO Laptop users use for reading PG Plain Text files, plus another one that lets you search the Internet Archive catalog and download the books you find in your choice of formats. As research for the book I designed and built my own book scanner and scanned and donated a number of books to IA. I'm working on submissions to PG and PG Canada. If you want to check the book out it's here: http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/ActivitiesGuideSugar/WebHome This page will let you look at my work in progress. The normal link shows content that has since been updated. I have some people from the Rural Design Collective working with me on the book, including a young artist who is drawing illustrations for it. (The illustrations aren't in the book yet because she needs to pick out a CC license). I've gotten a lot of useful information and feedback on this but can always use more. Nobody is making a dime on this, with the possible exception of the FM website who will eventually sell bound and printed copies through Lulu. PDF, web, and EPUB versions will always be free. If you see anything in the book you disagree with don't hesitate to point it out. If you would like to contribute content to the book that would be even better! Thanks, James Simmons
