This Service Just Announced As Follows!!!

[The following is the press release pretty much as it arrived]


Look For PG Mobile - Project Gutenberg's Mobile Edition


Why using Amazon's proprietary Kindle when you can use your mobile 
phone instead? Today's cell phones offer excellent screens and 
massive computing power to ensure best reading comfort. Mobile books 
do not weigh much and you can carry them with you wherever you are. 
Each Java / MIDP 2.0 enabled cell phone is sufficient - the most 
common computing platform in the world: There are by far more cell 
phones shipped worldwide than personal computers.

PG Mobile is a software that transfers the plain text format 
provided by Project Gutenberg onto small handset screens - together 
with all the features known from physical books like turning pages, 
page numbers and bookmarks. Just download the PG Mobile version of 
any eBook and read it on your phone: All Project Gutenberg mobile 
eBooks will soon be available for download as an additional file 
format in the download section of each Gutenberg title on 
Gutenberg.org. Stay tuned!

PG Mobile is based on the common Java file format (JAR) readable on 
nearly all mobile handsets. The superior features of the PG Mobile 
reader offer benefits like landscape mode and bookmarks, among many 
others. There's no book size limit, the book size is only limtated 
by the individual capabilities of your handset.

All mobile books can be downloaded as Java-applications and can then 
later be installed on the cell phone by using Bluetooth, serial 
connection, infrared or data cable. Additionally it will be possible 
to install the books directly over the air by using WAP: Just browse 
to Gutenberg.org and click on the JAR-link. And soon the mobile book 
will automatically be installed on your phone.
