Hello all,

I like to share an all-time hint to reduce legally (some restrictions may apply) costs regarding cultural works - wherever you are living, working, being, doing ...

It's about Project Gutenberg (GP) - an archive of cultural works digitized in open formats. Again: some restrictions may apply.

How to? or What's inside this posting

0. Preamble
1. Online access thru a computer
2. The Gutenberg web site
3. Reading on the go
4. Words about honesty and future

0. Preamble

This posting is not a call to violate copyright laws. These books are in the public domain in the United States and everybody — including Project Gutenberg and you — may read and distribute them. If you don't live in the United States you'll have to check the laws of the country you live in before downloading and distributing Project Gutenberg's ebooks.

I am taking no responsibility of any action upon this concept - you are liable for own actions. You are on your own. Point.

Don't forget to read the topic no. 4 Words about honesty and future

1. Onlince access

In this case you have online access as you can read this posting. So we just jump to topic 2.

2. The Gutenberg web site

http://www.Gutenberg.org

At GP you will find classic writings in the public domain in the United States of America (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:The_Project_Gutenberg_License) and free to download in various formats (like HTML, PDF, etc.).

Here comes a little extra: GP is also provided in other languages. For example german orientated readers may visit www.Gutenber.Spiegel.de, danish orientated readers may search www.gutenberg.org/browse/languages/da. Visit Gutenberg.org for a complete list of languages or browse the wiki for help on this issue.

Again: check your country laws of copyright as stated above (see the preamble).

3. Reading on the go

You may read these literature on-line (using your web browser) or off-line by downloading it to your computer or even to a mobile device, like a mobile phone, personal digital assistent or any other device supporting mobile reading. Because the list of devices and possibilities is constantly extending it's easier to consult the wikipedia page explaining GP:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenberg.org

In the second paragraph a list of formats is the starting point for your search regarding your desired book reader application: "Wherever possible ... such as HTML, PDF, EPUB, MOBI and Plucker."

4. Words about honesty and future

Words about honesty: if you like GP and/or it's language branches, please support them from time to time and donate. The choice how much to donate and when is up to you.

Words about future: Support your local and/or favorite book store: buy books to nourish the economic cycle.

Thank you for skimming so far.

Happy reading!

Bernd C.
