I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research… And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him. Thanks for lunch! “Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.”

OLPC is a vast and ambitious project. Technology take a secondary role to soft less measurable issues and an approach more sympathetic to local needs.
Technology be considered only as part of a project of education, media education vital as part of a system of media technology dissemination. So hoep that this project will be lounch soon.

Thanks in advance for keeping us informed.

and will : thanks; Awesome Blossom makes me smile… the drawings look good on my XO! You might want to make a version with a blank 2d page, and no last page, to make more sense as a digital book.

@Jacob : they will be distributed both on the XO’s drive and on USB keys. Schools that have school servers will hold a digital library with many of the available collections. (though even there modern drives run out of room before including all the great images and media that are available).

@Ed : funny to note that librevox, libravox, and librivox are all owned by people committed to similar causes (and not, say, squatters).

@JA : Thanks for the link. Anything with footnotes like that can’t be entirely bad.

How are these books going to be distributed with the XO? Are they going to be pre-loaded on the XO’s small hard drive? Perhaps a USB Keychain Drive distribution of the books would be more appropriate.

Logistically, internet delivery of e-books will remain a huge technological and economic problem.
To address this, Worldspace satellite radio at http://www.worldspace.com/ donates up to 128 kbps for the common good.
This means that expensive internet connections and equipment are not needed for delivery of electronic books. The beneficiaries of the OLPC project can receive electronic textbooks via satellite using an inexpensive Worldspace receiver.
I encourage you to solicit this service from Worldspace at http://www.worldspace.com/. Their footprint covers Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Hi, would the books on this site be helpful?

http://www.boysbooks.org — it’s PG texts plus stuff I’ve scanned.

I can do any format you want, waiting on my OLPC to arrive before, you know, deciding what reads best.

/Also have other “CDs” sorted by categories, though I think PG is doing this as well.
//Five years ago, I sold “300 Mysteries on CD” on ebay, but I’ve long since moved on to other things. If that’s any help, let me know.

Hi SJ!

We met at a dinner a while back–I work for PCF. I added a children’s book my wife and I wrote and are distributing under a CC license to the book list. If there are any issues, I’m happy to spend some time to fix them.
