Would there be a better way to keep those "examples" than to keep them in the collection buried beneath a ton of other files where they just pop up per chance to disgruntle users who inadvertently download them ?
People SHOULD be disgruntled about such things. . . . We are NOT going to rewrite Project Gutenberg history to make it appear this didn't happen, nor are we going to downplay that it happened. I, personally, met with the President of Folio, before we embarked on this project, and he assured me that the free Folio reader would always be available. . .and he seemed far more friendly than Adobe ever has appeared.
