The British Library to put 65k first editions online – FREE

February 8th, 2010 by Nate Hoffelder · No Comments · digitization projects

The Telegraph is reporting:

Owners of the Amazon Kindle e-book device will be able to view the books, including their original typeface and illustrations, of famous works by Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy, as well as thousands of more obscure authors.

There is no word from Amazon on this being a Kindle exclusive, so I would assume that the reporter took a literary license. I don’t see why this wouldn’t be available to all.
