eTextBooks (for kids)

[Dov Grobgeld]

This reminds me of a "public service" project that I have thought about for
some time. It would be nice if someone created some free (as in license)
books that would pass the requirements of the education ministry. These
could then be downloaded as e-books or printed, copied partially,
photocopied, translated, modified, read in audioform, etc, which would be a
great service to the all kids and parents.

Just my 2 ag,
Dov
