The World e-Book Fair Offers Free E-Books
The World e-Book Fair (worldebookfair.com), sponsored by Project Gutenberg and World eBook Library, will be offering up to 300,000 books online from July 4 to August 4, 2006. Fiction, nonfiction and reference books plus classical music scores and recordings will be available for free downloading.
In an interview with The Boston Globe, Project Gutenberg’s Michael Hart said, "It will include the oldest books in the world, including every author you have heard of in your life, other than current ones." About 100,000 books will remain permanently on the site. E-Book fairs with up to one million selections are planned for future years.
