free Rev ebook reader & library

[Marielle Lange]

Hi Brian,

Tried it :-). Thought that would be cool in a teaching context with  
some options added to allow for a critique of the book to be made by  
students, or comments to be made in the margin.

I would recommend to add this book to your collection:
http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/socl/education/ 
DemocracyandEducation/toc.html  (Democracy and Education by John  
Dewey -- my understanding is that you should be able to obtain the  
authorization to do so)

I guess you know about the gutenberg project and similar initiatives:
http://www.gutenberg.org/.
http://abu.cnam.fr/   - -  association des bibliophiles universels
http://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page:English  - Wikisource,  
collection of open source documents.

Is it compatible with the formats used for pda?
http://manybooks.net/
Personally, I avoid reading books on screen -- my vision is already  
bad enough. However, I find handy to be able to take 20 books with me  
on my lightweight pda, during holidays.

PS. Thoreau's "Walden" is the book I am currently reading...  If at  
some point you don't hear about me anymore it is that I have decided  
to go an live in a hut in the forest for a few years.
