I got the CD Best of Gutenberg. It is good. However, I also got another idea from the same. How about creating other similar ISO images on different subject, languages and the the entire collection ?
For eg., Subjectwise ISO: A CD ISO Image with just Fairy Tales etc., for Children Language Wise ISO: A CD ISO with all the French E-Books Other: A DVD ISO with all the Audio Books ENTIRE COLLECTION: E-Books 1 to 600 as one ISO image and the next 60o books as anotehr ISO image and so on. (That way those with CD Burners can also take the full advantage of the collection.)
We've done a few of this type, over the years. I am aiming for a few weeks to have a new service to let people automatically select what they want for their own custom CD or DVD image - that will open the door for some new ISOs, based on very easy creation. Today, it's a bit labor intensive to create a new ISO. There is complexity in selecting particular files for an eBook, then you need to make a friendly index page. A few folks have written software for this, but I don't have any of the software - and it pre-dates our XML/RSS catalog format, which is the easiest way to get a current listing of eBooks and their associated files. Anyway, stay tuned... -- Greg
