Week 9, Thing 22

I looked at the top 100 ebooks downloaded yesterday on Project Gutenberg and was gratified to see that none of them were "fluff" titles. The top title (1180 downloads) was "The Outline of Science, Vol 1" by Thomson. 104 people chose one of my favorites--the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. This seems like a neat way to get free books out to people, even if the selection is somewhat "limited". Looks like our library system has access to Overdrive ebooks. I plan to download an ebook in the near future to see what it's like, but I don't have a device (other than my PC) to listen to it.
