Yes please! I think it's just kinda weird that this hasn't been done yet.

hopefully!


Interesting. Do you "just" use the browser's built-in capabilities or also some browser extensions?


I just use the built-in capabilities these days as everything that I would need is in there. This was not true many years ago when I did use some browser extensions.


exciting :)


nice!


in which way? (genuine question)


Well, mainly in the fact that Anna's has several orders of magnitude more books, and includes research publications and more, ah, contemporary materials to boot.


not that I know of ...


this is so great to hear! Distributed proofreaders (the org that actually does transcriptions) is still looking for volunteer should you feel the urge/inclination :) https://www.pgdp.net


PG works based on US copyright law. And as I understand it that's also 70 years after author/translator death. My gut feeling is that if anyone tried hard enough this ban could probably get lifted


That’s only the case for works published after the mid-70s. For works published before (which is all current PD books in the US), it’s 95 years after the date of publication, with a few exceptions where people failed to file renewal notices.


good question. Eric - any pointers?
