it's also very "accessible" - good for assistive technologies and people with "ou-of-the-ordinary" requirements

good question. first though - maybe some bot has downloaded it often for whatever reasons and our systems didn't detect it as bot traffic. just a guess.

the way I see it PG is a labor of love. Bit odd if Barnes & Noble or whoever piggyback off it. But in the end - the more people read the books, the better.

personally I'm a fan of the other "PG" as well.

the amount of weird/interesting stuff that one would find nowhere else is possibly the coolest aspect of PG imo

I've messaged the guy who's best suited to fixing this. He'll be on it this weekend

"you guys seem to have already fixed it" - that's what we like to hear :)

We're supporting EPUB3 for the vast majority of books! At the same time we also have a "Plain Text" version for each as in a sense it's the most robust. PdFs are in the works!

That's interesting. What about the new design prevents you from doing it? Genuinely asking here. We may fix it if it's actionable

standardebooks.org is great!

by JSeiko 5mo ago
probably true. Maybe an true open-source eReader should exist.

by JSeiko 5mo ago
Thanks! We're currently working on a design update of the page of any specific book. Should be online soon (next 1-2 weeks or so)

maybe there's a way to read more productively using AI: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1990577951671509438 could be a trick to ease that fear :D

I've heard that the newest Kobo e-readers have a browser that you could use to go to gutenberg.org and directly download files. but yes, generally I agree with your point. Library of 75k books seems pretty valuable to have direct acces

that's cool!

good to hear - that was a lot of work!

not yet, but that's not a bad idea imo. Dealing with Ai crawler traffic is definitely a challenge if that's what you were referring to.

good feedback thanks! Doing an iteration on the homepage design is actually pretty high on the priority list. will keep your feedback in mind!

Hi! I'm one of the programmers at Gutenberg. We've been improving the site a lot over the past few months (and more is coming!). If you haven't visited the page recently, it's worth checking out again: https:/&#x2F
