About this site

My name is Matthew McClintock, and I maintain manybooks.net as a service to the internet community at large.

Updates and information about the working of this site are chronicled in the Site News section, and in the section below called Conversion tools.

Occasional updates and alerts to notable new ebooks can be found on Twitter.

All of the eBooks from manybooks.net are free, however donations toward the maintenance of the site are welcome and help defray the cost of bandwidth, file storage, and server hardware..

Sources

Many of the etexts are from the November, 2003 Project Gutenberg DVD, which contains the entire Project Gutenberg archives except for the Human Genome Project and audio eBooks, due to size limitations, and the Project Gutenberg of Australia eBooks, due to copyright. As of July 2004 most current PG texts are available here, usually within the week of release. There are also public domain and creative commons works from many other sources.

Zip archives are stored in the same directory structure as on the DVD, with Author, Title, and related information stored in a MySQL database. Pages are built with PHP and served using the Apache webserver. The server is a 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.4, located at macminicolo.net.

eBooks are generated on demand using a variety of tools, and cached using Amazon's S3 service - which means that the first time anyone requests an eBook in a particular format it will take a bit longer to deliver, but the next time that eBook is requested it will be sent immediately.
