We need to average 74 eBooks per week for the next two weeks to have
8500 eBooks for our 32nd Anniversary Newsletter.

Normally, this would be something our usual volunteers and the
Distributed Proofreaders could handle, but many of them are on
vacation at the moment. . .so. . .if any of you are working on
books from cover to cover, now would be a GREAT time to finish
them off and send them in!!!

Many thanks!!!


Thanks!!!

So nice to hear from you!

As of June 25 we are over 5/6 of the way to 10,000 eBooks!!!:

Your download should include ~8350+ free eBooks from Project Gutenberg at:

http://gutenberg.net

That means there are ~1650- left to go until we get to #10,000!

Currently we have ~167 days to go to December 10, 2003,
a decade since eBook #100, and are averaging 9 per day,
so we obviously need to do just one more book per day
to average the 10 per day needed to make that goal. . . .

We are currently running at about 97% of Moore's Law growth.

Next week, hopefully about 70 more!



Please send us your suggestions!
