Editorial: Return of the eBook?
 

I’ve been interested in Project Gutenberg for a very long time and admire its simplicity as well as breadth – with 17,000 titles. It’s clear that lots of other people also think highly of Project Gutenberg – every month two million eBooks are downloaded from it. The day before I wrote this editorial the top ten downloads included Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, H G Wells’ The Time Machine, and the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.
