The World eBook Fair is a month-long "celebration of the 35th anniversary of the first step taken towards today's eBooks..." (Did you know it had been that long?) From July 4th to August 4th, access to 1/3 million eBooks, or "or 10 times the number found in the average public library" will be free at the eBook fair through a gateway at Project Gutenberg, "the oldest and largest free eBook source on the Internet" and one of the sponsors of the fair. While Project Gutenberg is normally free, another of the sponsors, World eBook Library ("providers of the largest [eBook] collection") normally charges an annual fee for accessing their titles.
This is intended to be an annual event "to encourage you to assist in bringing many entire libraries to the general public and to encourage ever increasing levels of literacy and reading."
Be sure to check it out! (Bad pun intended...sorry!)
