There are over 20,000 titles in the Project Gutenberg catalog.I downloaded Pride and Prejudice by clicking on the title and then selecting a download site, which was the Guttenberg site on Sailor: ftp://sailor.gutenberg.lib.md.us/gutenberg/etext98/pandp12.zipI was able to download and open both the plain text and pdf versions. In addition to searching the online catalog, books can be chosen by browsing the "Top 100 Books" list. I chose Pride andPrejudice from the list of "Top 100 Ebooks yesterday". There is also a list of "Top 100 Authors yesterday", from which I chose William Shakespeare and was given the choice of dozens of Shakespearean plays. You can also search the most recent titles posted, and subscribe to an RSS feed of these books. There is a Project Gutenberg wiki to which users are invited to contribute.
