I just came across this great site/idea: http://gutenberg.cc/Public.htm Perhaps http://dli.ernet.in can be just added there as a link ?

i would think that's precisely what michael hart had in mind with that new project of his... and yes, it is a great idea... the logical extension of his earlier invention of the e-book, collecting them as a library... except the extension had to endure a mere 20 months (or so) of flack, not 20 years, like his earlier one... -bowerbird
