But now you can download the library and carry it around in a shirt pocket. A thumb drive just doesn't smell like those old books though. Library smell. Maybe you can buy it--like New Car Smell?
I poked around a bit and there is more at that site that appears at first glance. Google has about 10,200 pdf files indexed, and they sell copies of the library for offline use - so me robotically downloading it all would not be cool - although I suspect there may be over 100 GB there so that probably isn't practical anyway.
If you want those PDFs I think I could whip up a script that will download them all. Of course if we are losing the Internet in this apocalypse I have to think electricity might be an issue too - so a bunch of PDFs on your Kindle or PC may not be that useful! Although you could probably keep a Kindle functional with solar...
My thoughts as well. We are getting solar panels (starting construction in two weeks) so maybe we can charge laptop batteries for another bit before computer parts fizzle and can't be replaced. Extreme outcomes are NOT out of the question. The entire range of bizarro futures are in range. If you contrive a "download them all" script, how cool would that be?I Might be a popular item just now. Thanks for the idea, WAY past my pay grade!
Holy moly Fred. We go back to old fashioned libraries.
