Description

Another cultural side to develop is writing. As books do not use a lot of disk space since it's only text characters, we can offer several children stories on our CD as a start. Later online resources, from interesting websites or collected on our own, could be proposed. Of course the main issue is copyright!

The Electronic Library of Quebec offers lots of ebooks but wants to keep control of the book support despite the text of their books is domain public:

http://beq.ebooksgratuits.com/

However this can be useful to search for domain public contents or to import the text to make free content, free as in freedom!

Yes but they also have a restrictive policy regarding to the supports they offer. Indeed I discovered the Electronic Library of Quebec thanks to EbooksGratuits!
