So I should be working on the books I'm already reading, but instead I'm downloading some more epub files from Project Gutenberg 😄😂

@gutenberg_org This unexpected discovery has made me feel happy. It won't last, ofc, but i shall enjoy these next few minutes of joy, given the unambiguous unmitigated #PublicGood that #ProjectGutenberg is!

@zudn If you're okay with #KJV, and have #Calibre, you can actually download the whole #KJV #Bible from #ProjectGutenberg and read it offline that way

Putting the ebook together was an arduous process sometimes, because while most short stories had been transcribed by sites like #ProjectGutenberg and #Wikisource (which are fantastic projects! kudos to them!), others I had to transcribe myself from the digital scans. I distinctly remember having to transcribe "The Raid" twice because I used the wrong set of scans (there were potential copyright issues) the first time...

@Colarusso #ProjectGutenberg is awesome!

Just attending a wonderful presentation about #ProjectGutenberg by Eric Hellman. A good portion of first-hand knowledge!
