It takes books and breaks them into pieces that can be read in 5
minutes or so, then sends them to you by email every day (or more
often, if you choose). War and Peace is 675 parts, so if you choose
only to read one part per weekday, you can finish it off in just 135
weeks, or slightly more than 2.5 years."

Okay, very few people here may be interested in that.  In fact, most of the
books that are up thus far are fairly 'literary'.  But they have the
complete Edgar Allan Poe, several by H.G. Wells, a Shakespeare play I've
never read, and a lot of other things.  Thus far there doesn't seem to be a
way to suggest books, link them with Gutenberg, or various other ways of
adding to the collection.  Still, getting a book in sections rather than
trying to read it all online or print it out has a certain appeal.
