Gutenberg Project

An interesting project but restrictive in its applicability to public libraries if the only books in the project are out of copyright i.e. classics. There is a limited audience for classics anyway, and plenty of competition as they are cheaply and widely available everywhere in ye olde paper form. The computer audio recording I listened to of David Copperfield sounded awful - I can't imagine anyone wanting to listen to that. The human voice audio recording of The Little Matchgirl though was very good.
