It's too bad we can't make that dynamic, feeding off of a database =)
Not worth the trouble ... First, we had to agree on what counts as an ebook in its own right.
Eg. we have a Bible in the collection, where every chapter got its own ebook number. Also, many books are posted in parts, and every part got its own number besides the complete book.
To get a meaningful count of ebooks we first had to get rid of such shameless stuffings.
That's an unwarranted poke, Marcello. We do have a count, and it's eBook #s as used as the primary access point to our files. Agreeing on what counts as an eBook is not necessary. We know how many eBook #s we have, even if there is disagreement on what counts as an eBook. There are plenty of words (in GUTINDEX.ALL and elsewhere) to augment this simplistic number. -- Greg
