Downloadable Books

Hadn't checked the Project Gutenburg page in quite a while and was interested to see what can now be downloaded (in addition to books):

Categories: Audio Book, computer-generated Audio Book, human-read Data Music, recorded Music, Sheet Other recordings Pictures, moving Pictures, still

The Data category includes the Human Genome Project as well as square roots of various numbers(!?).

Also of interest:

Languages with more than 50 books: Chinese Dutch English Finnish French German Italian Portuguese Spanish Tagalog
Languages with up to 50 books: Afrikaans Aleut Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Czech Danish Esperanto Frisian Friulano Galician Gamilaraay Gascon Greek Hebrew Hungarian Icelandic Iloko Interlingua Irish Iroquoian Japanese Khasi Korean Latin Lithuanian Maori Mayan Languages Middle English Nahuatl Napoletano-Calabrese North American Indian Norwegian Old English Polish Romanian Russian Sanskrit Serbian Slovak Swedish Welsh Yiddish

Re Maryland's Digital eLibrary Consortium, didn't expect to see downloadable IMAX films! Also enjoyed browsing the Education and Study Aids category.
