Ok… I’ll Jump on the Daily Lit Bandwagon
August 13, 2007 · by Scott Fradkin
If it’s good enough for Wil (http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/08/the-coolest-thi.html) and Cory (http://www.boingboing.net/2007/08/13/dailylits_library_of.html) then it’s good enough for me.
DailyLit (http://www.dailylit.com/) is actually pretty slick. They send you snippets of books that are in the public domain or Creative Commons licensed. These snippets are sized to take about 5 minutes to read and can be sent to you on a regular (or slightly irregular) schedule. If you choose you can read over an RSS feed instead.
While I have yet to try it out, this certainly seems pretty darn cool. They don’t have an enormous selection of books yet, I can only assume that they will. They should be able to take the entire Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page) library and put it on their website.
I’m still a big fan of the printed word, though. There’s just something about having the hard copy of a text in front of you.
Now if only someone rigged this up but with audio books…
