World eBook Library Consortia Announces 2007 eBook Fair Will Begin on July 4, 2007

The World eBook Library team has announced that they wlll be offering another World e-Book Fair beginning on July 4, 2007. T

The project provided two book fairs (where all of the content in the library is free) in 2006. Normally, an individual membership to the library is $8.95/U.S. per year on $1 per FTE student. At the moment over 400,000 titles are available in PDF and searchable.

Michael Hart writes:

...we are hoping to present over 100,000 commercial eBook titles from our friends at Digital Pulp Publishing, & eBooks About Everything and other fine commercial eBook sources. . .for a grand total of nearly 2/3 million eBooks.

The commercial eBooks are from Digital Pulp Publishing, presenting a wide and eclectic array bringing independent access to the broad
open market through the efforts of many publishers; and also great numbers of additional books, perhaps totalling ~100,000 by July 4,
from eBooks About Everything.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012
