Oregon Digital Library Consortium

(SALEM, Ore.) - The Oregon Digital Library Consortium has added more than 15,000 public domain eBooks from Project Gutenberg to its Library2Go website. This featured collection enables library users to discover and download thousands of free classic eBooks, in the industry standard EPUB format, without holds or waitlists.

Library2Go users can visit the Project Gutenberg collection webpage, search for titles, hit the download button, and save the free eBook to their computer. The titles can be read in any EPUB-compatible software and transferred to EPUB-capable eBook readers such as the Sony Reader, nook, Kobo or Apple iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

The Project Gutenberg collection expands and enhances Library2Go by making thousands of classic eBooks available without waitlists or holds. Most of the greatest literature of all time is available, from authors like Shakespeare, Dickens, Tolstoy, Austen, and Twain. Most of the books are in English, but also included are books in French, German, Chinese and other languages.

Readers can always find an eBook title to download from Library2Go — instantly. And eBooks downloaded from the Project Gutenberg collection don't expire or count against their checkout limit.

For Library2Go, the Project Gutenberg collection expands its role as a best source of free eBooks on the Web. While there are tens of thousands of eBooks available on Project Gutenberg's own website, the titles added to Library2Go will be scrubbed for quality. Only the best EPUB eBooks will be added to Library2Go.
