Mark Steyn and John Pod, “Project Gutenberg” does so make sense. Just get a load of this:

There’s no reason to be cuckoo and print out books from the internet. You can go to www.ebookwise.com and order an ebook reader about the size of a paperback (5″x7″) and download from a selection of literally tens of thousands of free books on the internet (not just Gutenberg), and can buy a lot more which cost far less than a paperback from a variety of sources. The reader costs about a $125. At the present time, I have about 35 full-sized books (200 to 700 pages apiece) loaded on mine. It takes just a few minutes to run a downloaded text through a program which formats it for the reader (from html, txt, word, rtf, etc). The device when charged up (which takes a very short time) will give you 10-15 hrs of reading time easily before you have to recharge. By the way, since its backlit, you can read it in bed without having your wife covering her head and cursing at you about turning out the light.
