world ebook fair

By David Mehegan, Globe Staff  |  June 2, 2006

For much of the past decade, the publishing world has been trying to
figure
out how to make money selling books in electronic form. Now a private
project wants to give e-books away for free.

Project Gutenberg, a 35-year-old nonprofit based in Urbana, Ill.,
announced
yesterday it is putting as many as 300,000 books online, where they
will be
available for free download. Called the World eBook Fair
(worldbookfair.com), the program will last a month -- July 4 to Aug. 4
--
and will be repeated annually.

The catalog of available works will include fiction, nonfiction, and
reference books, mostly those that are no longer protected by
copyright.
``It will include the oldest books in the world, including every author
you
have heard of in your life, other than current ones," said Michael
Hart,
Project Gutenberg's founder. The fair also will offer classical music
files, both scores and recordings, as well as films.

About 95 percent of the books are in the public domain and not subject
to
copyright law, Hart said. The copyright holders of the remaining 5
percent
have given permission for use of their works. Copyright law generally
protects a work for 70 years beyond the death of its creator.

Roughly 20,000 of the books have been scanned by thousands of Gutenberg
volunteers -- and are already available at gutenberg.org -- but the
majority will be loaned to Gutenberg for the month by more than 100
e-book
libraries, including the World eBook Library, which normally charges a
fee
for temporary access. As many as 100,000 of the 300,000 books will
remain
available permanently. Gutenberg plans to offer 500,000 books in next
year's fair, 750,000 in 2008, and 1 million in 2009. Still, even these
numbers are a fraction of the tens of millions of books that have been
published throughout history.

``Our stuff is all free," Hart said. ``We want people to take these
books
and use them, to keep them in their PDAs. Our mission is to help break
down
the walls of ignorance and illiteracy."

Efforts to establish a commercial e-book marketplace have stumbled.
Attempts to sell hand-held readers failed because they were clumsy and
delicate, downloadable books were few, and fees were high. Google
recently
announced a plan to make millions of books searchable online, but the
company has faced opposition from publishers outraged over potential
copyright infringement. Attempts to reach publishers and booksellers
last
night were unsuccessful.

In the World eBook Fair, the books can be downloaded and read on almost
any
kind of computer -- even a cellphone or PDA . The idea is not merely to
lend or rent access to the book but to give it away so that it can be
kept
in a library, copied, or shared with friends.

Hart said the major flaw with previous attempts to sell e-books was the
device. ``Those readers were dinosaurs before they were born," he said.
``This generation grew up on Game Boy. The screen of a cellphone is
fine
for them. The iPod had been out only a week when someone wrote a
program so
you could read our books on it."

Hart, 58, has been the dedicated visionary behind the project since its
inception in 1971, working out of his basement in Urbana since
graduating
from the University of Illinois. In a phone interview, he spoke in
evangelistic tones about the social virtue of the project. ``We want to
increase literacy and education from the bottom up," he said. ``I think
of
this as a blue-collar project. Our target is not the erudite professor
of
Shakespeare -- it's everybody, as many people as we can encourage to
read."

Gutenberg volunteers -- who have been typing and scanning books into
computers for 35 years, well before anyone had heard of the Internet --
have the passion of Wikipedians. ``I have 40,000 people to help," Hart
said. ``There are no universities or corporations involved, just a lot
of
people in attics banging on their computers. We have one workaholic
insomniac who has scanned 2,500 to 3,000 books by himself. He buys
them,
scans them, and proofreads them."

Though Hart is the project's conceptual force, the unpaid CEO of
Project
Gutenberg is Gregory Newby, acting chief scientist of the Arctic Area
Supercomputing Center at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. While
more
low-key than Hart on the phone, he was no less fired with conviction.

``As we see it, if e-books are to succeed, readers have to be allowed
to do
everything they can do with a real book," Newby said. ``If you use
Google
Book Search, you can search text, but after a few pages you can't read
any
more. If you try to use it like a book, you encounter a lot of
barriers."

Newby said he sees free e-books as the way of the future for classic
works.

``It breaks my heart to go into Barnes & Noble and find Jane Austen for
sale in a trade format," he said. ``Where does that money go? It's
close to
profiteering. No author is getting any money for it. I feel sorry for
schools, where kids are now reading Canterbury Tales or Huckleberry
Finn,
and the schools are spending millions of dollars from their budgets to
buy
the books. We're giving the stuff away for free."

It takes the whole country

IT makes sense that any effort to turn Malaysia into a nation of readers should concentrate on its children.

Most developed countries take great pains to promote literacy and a love for reading among their youth. In Britain, the Booktrust charity (www.booktrust.org.uk), which aims to encourage readers of all ages to discover books, administers Bookstart, a national scheme that offers free books to every child and advice to every parent.

Organisations like the Children抯 Book Council (cbcbooks.org) and Reading is Fundamental (rif.org) in the United States do work akin to that carried out by Booktrust, and so does the Children抯 Book Council of Australia (CBCA, at cbc.org.au).

From Majapahit to Putrajaya: Book Launch

Farish Noor will be, finally, back in Malaysia end of this month. Catch him at the launch of his latest book From Majapahit to Putrajaya at Silverfish Books, 67-1 Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur on the 29th of July 2006, at 6.00pm. Farish Noor will be introduced by Sumit Mandal, after which Farish Noor will talk briefly about what he has been doing over the last two years travelling in India, Pakistan, Europe and various other parts of the world, and the state of Malaysian politics from his POV.

Farish A Noor is, without a doubt, Malaysia's top public intellectual.

Impassioned, controversial, courageous: Farish Noor's writings on religious extremism and 'moral panic', social conformity and the 'New Generation Post-modern Malay' makes him an indispensable voice in Malaysia.Clive Kessler, Emeritus Professor, School of Sociology and Anthropology, UNSW Sydney.
