Beyond Method 6

I searched for R. Caldecott's First Collection of Pictures and Songs by Randolph Caldecott
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/20777













Question 6. Click on the title of the work to open up the book record.  Looking at the downloads, would you know which file to select if you had a Kindle?



Answer: Yes, it is clear which is the Kindle file.

Question 7. Open up the basic HTML version of the text.  Do you find this easy to read?
Answer: It would not be my favorite way to read a long novel, but it would be far better than not having access to it at all.

Question 8. On your blog, add a link to the book record that you viewed and post to your blog about this exercise. (Please include “Beyond Method #6″ in the title of your blog post.)
Was Project Gutenberg easy to use?
Answer: Yes. very

Do your think your patrons would be interested in a public domain service like Project Gutenberg? If a patron wanted help putting a title from Project Gutenberg on an eReader, do you think you would be able to help them?
Answer: Not sure about this.  I have yet to use an eReader myself.  I'm sure I could figure it out, but would hate to put the user through my learning how to do it.
