task 22 - e books

the gutenberg site is just a bit cluttered and hard to manage for my liking, but there's certainly some great content there, and a number of titles that I would enjoy listening to. I don't have an mp3 player so it was all a bit academic really. I was not actually able to listen to anything, but I know if i had the right gear it would be pretty easy. there was one (a louisa may alcott story) that i tried to access, but it was agonisingly slow so i gave it away. I personally really enjoy talking books on cd (in the car), and can see that if I got into mp3 technology (or similar) that I'd really get a lot of it, and so would library patrons. the idea of the access 'expiring' after a given period of time is certainly enticing.
