Thanks!!! Michael] Over Our 32 1/2 Year History, We Have Now Averaged About 333 Ebooks/Yr And This Year Averaged Over That Same New eBook Level. . .PER MONTH!!! We Averaged 347 Per Month For The Last 12 Months!!! *** SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE IN OUR HEADLINE NEWS Most school computers are never used by the students! In several recent interviews, I have noticed that teachers are telling me that the statistics about school computers are very misleading. We hear that 99% of U.S. classrooms are computerized, but what we do NOT hear is that ONLY the teachers get to use them, and many times this is ONLY for routine matters such as taking attendance. The students seems to NEVER be at the computers, and when they are, which may be from 1% to 3% of the time, they have no access to anything other than what the teacher put there, no direct access to Project Gutenberg, the Web or the Internet. This, I am told, is simply due to ignorance on the parts of the teachers and staff, plus fear of pornography and viruses. Thus, a student may spend an entire year at a "computerized" school, and may easily spend less time at the computer than s/he might spend in the first week after receiving a computer with Internet access for Christmas. If you are expecting our kids to graduate from high school knowing how to run a computer, access the Internet and Web, and all that comes with it, better ask around, because it just might not be happening the way you have been led to think. *** HOT Requests!!!

Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site: http://www.pgdp.net for more information about how you can help a lot, by simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more. If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed, and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it, please email [email protected] and we will get things started. Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file), since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions. Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive? Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed Proofreading Team! Please email [email protected] with your geographic location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner (note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which will not be returned). Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at: http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK' lines to [email protected] Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself? Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help find a you project you would like to work on. *** We Have Included Quick and Easy Ways to Donate. . .As Per Your Requests!

Statistical Review In the 01 weeks of this year, we have produced 0093 new eBooks. It took us from 1971 to 1993 to produce our FIRST 0093 eBooks!!! That's 01 WEEKS as Compared to ~22 YEARS!!! With 11,001 eBooks online as of January 14, 2004 it now takes an average of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.91 from each book, for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One Trillion Dollars] in books. 100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population! This "cost" is down from about $1.48 when we had 6769 eBooks A Year Ago Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing $.57 less a year later??? Or. . .would this say it better? Can you imagine 10,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later??? At 11,001 eBooks in 32 Years and 6.25 Months We Averaged 333 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!] 26 Per Month .85 Per Day At 0,093 eBooks Done In The 007 Days Of 2004 We Averaged 13.3 Per Day 93.0 Per Week 411.9 Per Month The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks' production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon, starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon. ***Headline News*** [PG Editor's Comments In Brackets] From Newsscan: [I've Been Saying Chinese Was Coming For A Couple Years Now!"] NFL PLANS CHINESE-LANGUAGE WEB SITE KICK-OFF The National Football League will launch a Mandarin Chinese-language version of its Web site later this month featuring commentary by Philadelphia Eagles tight end Chad Lewis, who learned Mandarin during a two-year stint as a Mormon missionary in Taiwan. The move reflects the American entertainment industry's efforts to expand its products to overseas audiences -- the National Basketball Association offers nine foreign-language versions of its NBA.com site, and Walt Disney has launched nearly two dozen individual-country Web sites and reports that foreign audiences now make up 42% of the total visitors to its Web sites. Analysts caution that foreign-language sites can take years to pay off, but industry execs view China as a potentially lucrative investment. The China Internet Network Information Center reports that there were 68 million Internet users in mid-2003, when the latest statistics were available, which represents a 15% growth in just the first half of last year. (New York Times 12 Jan 2004) http://partners.nytimes.com/2004/01/12/business/12ecom.html [Of Course This Next One Is Mostly About Commercial eBooks and. . . .] LIBRARIES FUEL E-BOOK MARKET E-books have suffered a slow start and several setbacks over the past couple of years, but industry observers says things are finally turning around. "There was a pricing impediment and a quality impediment," says Rosetta Books CEO Arthur Klebanoff, who cites a new generation of e-book devices that could jumpstart sales. "Today the [digital] reading experience is much better and prices have fallen." But the biggest push may come from several library consortia that have added e-books to their collections. The King County system in the Seattle area offers members about 2,000 titles and records show about 3,200 e-books were checked out between Sept. 15 and the end of November. "The response has been pretty good," says King County Library System associate director Bruce Schauer. "In general, e-books will likely be used primarily for quick reference [on subjects] such as medical, travel and law. People are also using the search and highlight functions for homework." Meanwhile, Steve Potash, CEO of OverDrive, which helps manage the Cleveland Public Library system's e-book digital publishing rights, says current economic conditions have proven a powerful motivation for many libraries to begin experimenting with e-books. "At a time when public libraries are under budget pressures, what better way to extend services than free e-book downloads?" Among the most popular titles are (what else?) CliffsNotes. That observation is echoed by CliffsNotes publisher John Wiley & Sons, which says the CliffsNotes series is its No. 1 e-book seller. "We knew they'd be popular online; what we didn't anticipate was that they'd be popular for libraries. People are using the library very differently these days: Now you don't have to leave your room. It's about a generation comfortable in the electronic media," says Wiley senior VP Katherine Showalter.

China's moves to expand its technology industries are leading to new trade tensions with the United States. Bruce P. Mehlman of the industry group Computer Systems Policy Project wonders whether China will "take a more global, market-based approach, or will it try to change the rules and disadvantage others?" The projects at issue include development of Chinese software standards for wireless computers, the introduction of exclusive technology formats for future generations of cell phones and DVD players, and tax policies that favor computer chips made in China. Ann Rollins of the Information Technology Industry Council explains, "Having a different standard from the rest of the world fractures the market. The implications of this are dangerous going forward." (New York Times 13 Jan 2004) http://partners.nytimes.com/2004/01/13/technology/13china.html JUDGE PREFERS PAPERWORK TO ELECTRONIC FILINGS A judge in California has ruled that consumers cannot use the Web to file for their shares of a $1.1 billion class-action settlement against Microsoft. The Web site in question, MsfreePC.com, was developed by Lindows, a Microsoft rival. Microsoft argued that the site violated "the integrity of the claims process" (by accepting digital signatures), and the judge agreed. Lindows chief executive Michael Robertson countered: "Microsoft's claim that digital signatures are valid when used to sell their software but not when it costs them money is pure hypocrisy. Their true intentions are not to remedy their abusive pricing policies but simply to escape financial redress to Californians."(AP/Washington Post 12 Jan 2004) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11557-2004Jan12.html NEW STUDY REFUTES NET 'GEEK' STEREOTYPE The typical Internet user has plenty of friends, an active social life and would rather read a good book or log on than watch TV, according to a report by UCLA's World Internet Project, which surveyed Net users and non-users in 14 countries to come up with its results. The image of Net users as socializers contradicts the stereotype of propeller-head "geeks" who spend their days (and nights) hunched over their keyboards, shunning human contact. The study did, however, reinforce some other demographic trends, including the fact that wealthier people tend to be more avid users, and that men outnumber women on the Net, although those figures vary by country, with Italy exhibiting the largest gender gap and Taiwan the smallest. Meanwhile, the digital divide -- the phrase widely used to describe the disparity in Internet usage between rich and poor -- appears to be narrowing around the world. Sweden, Korea and the U.S. had the largest number of low-income users.

The deal capitalizes on SINA's familiar brand and Yahoo's e-commerce expertise: "With the rapid growth of the Chinese Internet market, we see that all indicators point to a strong surge in Chinese e-commerce," says SINA CEO Yan Wang. "With SINA's brand and traffic in China coupled with Yahoo's technology, know-how and worldwide brand, we are creating an e-commerce platform that will be trusted and widely available to Internet users in China." According to the China Internet Network Information Center, there were 78 million Chinese Internet users as of last month.
