When I first was shown the internet I couldn't see much use for it. Then 
someone showed me project gutenberg, I think they had 5000 books, and I was 
hooked. I still visit it occasionally to see what peaks my interest.

Here's the link for those who may not have seen it yet.

Thanks Mr. Hart.

Thanks.

Before Web-braille and Bookshare, there was Gutenberg.  I read my first
books in electronic braille on it, on a Braille LIte 18.  It was wonderful!
I actually owned books.  What a concept for that time!

I just wish I had had Gutenberg when I was in junior high and high school to
help me get through American and British literature.
