Project Gutenberg promotes digitization in “text format”, meaning that a book can be copied, indexed, searched, analyzed and compared with other books. Contrary to other formats, the files are accessible for low-bandwidth use. = In a Few Words If the print book is 5 centuries and a half old, the electronic book is only 37 years old.
On top of its original mission, it also became a bridge between languages and cultures, with a number of national and linguistic sections. While adhering to the same principle: books for all and for free, through electronic versions that can be used and reproduced indefinitely. And, as a second step, the digitization of images and sound, in the same spirit. = Beginning and Persevering
2004/02: Michael Hart's visit to the European Parliament, in Brussels. 2004/10: 5,000 books processed by Distributed Proofreaders. 2004: Digitization of 338 books per month. 2005/05: 7,000 books processed by Distributed Proofreaders. 2005/05: First 100 books processed by Distributed Proofreaders Europe. 2005/06: 16,000 books in Project Gutenberg.
Digitization makes possible the on-line publishing of educational and scientific publications, for which the latest information is essential. Some U.S. universities distribute specific textbooks gathering a selection of chapters selected in an extensive database and some professors' articles and commentaries.

I express here my warmest thanks to all those who replied to my inquiry. I will also comment on the future trends regarding intellectual property, digitization, multimedia convergence and the information society. A selection of websites is also available. Some of the information included here is probably already obsolete. Never mind.
Furthermore, digitization accelerated the preparation process of a publication, because the sub-editor, the artistic designer and the staff responsible for the make-up can now work at the same time on the same book.
While adhering to the same principle: books for all and for free, through electronic versions that can be used and reproduced indefinitely. And, as a second step, the digitization of images and sound, in the same spirit. = The Beginnings in 1971 Let us get back to the beginnings of the project. In upper case, because there was no lower case yet.
It makes a smaller and more easily sendable computer file, unlike digitization in "image format", which produces a bulky "photo" file. Contrary to other formats, the files are accessible for low-bandwidth use. They can be copied as much as needed to produce new digital or print versions for free. The typos pointed out after the text is released can be fixed at any time.
