Actually that's <a href="http://www.dotreader.com">http://www.dotreader.com</a> , not .org --mea culpa--and if PG really cares about open source, then it should encourage strong open source efforts of the OSoft variety rather than just wait until they catch on. 
<br><br>Here's a little two-man software house in Tacoma, Washington, gambling hundreds of thousands of dollars on an open-source reader that can do far more than Plucker, allowing blogs and forums to be embedded inside books. 
<br><br>Plucker has many appreciative users, but dotReader/OpenReader will be of far greater importance to commercial publishers, who are already starting to show interest. <br><br>In turn, that'll be wonderful for PG works and other public domain books. dotReader reader can work with many kinds of books while improving the user experience. 
<br><br>dotReader uses a turbocharged version of existing e-book standards that techies and publishers have thrashed aroundfor years. <br><br>It's the best of all worlds: open source for programmers and a powerful free reader for users--and e-book standards similar to existing ones for publishers. Plus, dotReader can handle other XML/CSS-related formats as well. 
<br><br>&gt; We serverd 89504 plucker books in May 2006.<br><br>I think you'll do much better with OpenReader available as well. OSoft's e-reader for the format is a thing of beauty, and, as noted, it'll be free to download. 
<br><br>Plus, another awesome implementation is planned via the FBReader, which, according to the Wikipedia, is catching on among Nokia 770 users. See <a href="http://only.mawhrin.net/fbreader/plans.html">http://only.mawhrin.net/fbreader/plans.html
