Hello,
My organization owns the copyrights to some books and would like to
re-license them for sharing. The goal in doing this would be to maximize
the possibility of the books being read. I am aware that Wikisource hosts
books and that anyone can download these books as PDFs and EPUBs. Here, for
example, is *Moby Dick*.
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moby-Dick
I was thinking to share books through a Wikimedia project, but I am also
interested in sharing them through other channels if that would get them to
the people who wanted them. I am especially interested in enabling these
books to be found and read on mobile devices. I wanted to ask this list
some questions -
1. Has anyone done this before?
2. Does anyone know of a process for making this work?
3. Does anyone know about making shared books available through many
popular readers, including iBooks, Google Play's bookstore, and Amazon
Kindle?
4. Does anyone else have books they are sharing or want to share, and
if so might like you like to chat with me?
Thanks,
