Project Gutenberg is so good. I mean, I was aware of it's goodness, but tonight I have been reminded.

For those who haven't run into it before, Project Gutenberg is repository of ebook versions of out of copyright books.

It started with "Hang on, I could put Dracula on my phone for free and no one could stop me." (And no one can! It's out of copyright!) But then I started poking round with the search.

Did you know that Project Gutenberg has a whole lot of 1800s riding manuals? Do I personally have a use for 1800s riding manuals, other than maybe research? Maybe not, but tens! of 1800s! riding manuals! at! my! fingertips!

Project Gutenberg is so good.

Ooh I just barely have 54gb spare...

(However that's close to literally all I have spare and I'm not likely to stop acquiring data at a startling rate between now and [when I get a better laptop courtesy for not-quite-moore's-law.], so I had better not.)

(That is still only a little more than the size of warframe, though...)
