The Open Library

October 30th, 2005

The Open Library is a beautiful thing. It is the first release of Brewster Kahle’s digitized book database. The books are all lovingly scanned, retaining the feel of a book with page turning, yet the books are fast to load and easy to use. I am intrigued by the audio book feature too, after arguing with Overdrive and iPods for some time. Perhaps this open content will work better. Come and explore, it is a lot of fun and a great way to spend some time with books.
