I have just had a look at the World EBook Fair' site and it is very interesting. I tried searching for a couple of authors in the Project Gutenberg section, but didn't find anything, although I guess they are copyrighted. I was at a loss to think of what to search for, and decided to look at the Top 100, where I found The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci — Complete by Leonardo da Vinci.
The information about the Format and Encoding was really useful, but as this is only available as a text file, it was only text, and I think if I'm thinking of the right notebooks, there are a lot of drawings which are quite important. Also this one in particular is not copyrighted in the US, but could be in other parts of the world..... 'If you live elsewhere check the laws of your country before downloading this ebook.' I'm not sure what the situation is here.
Overall, this is a really amazing resource, but I'm not sure how we would use it in our library.
