Allow links to books' txt or etext?

Post by olmsted »

Any other thoughts on this subject?:

"For books, has there been any discussion among the admins about allowing here either txt or etext or links to Project Gutenberg? It seems a pity to have only images of important prose works in this era of e-readers. If you want to read a text, why not be able read it on your personal digital device, or be able to cut and paste whatever text you like? Olmsted 23:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

"I don't think there should be any problem with linking to e-text files at Gutenberg. You might try asking over at the forums to see if anyone can think of a reason we should not have such links. I think it's a good idea, in general terms. Besides, Gutenberg is free, just as we are. Carolus 23:33, 26 July 2010 (UTC)"

Quoted from here. Thanks.

1. Obviously the books must be music books.
2. We have to make the CR status of each clear.

Other than that, sure!
