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 -
Thanks,
- Has anyone done this before?
- Does anyone know of a process for making this work?
- Does anyone know about making shared books available through many popular readers, including iBooks, Google Play's bookstore, and Amazon Kindle?
- Does anyone else have books they are sharing or want to share, and if so might like you like to chat with me?
