Hi, I think this has changed slightly. When I visited Gutenberg a few
months ago, some books did have short synopses. Sometimes, you can even
read the book on-line before you download it.

[....]readIf you don't mind me asking, why do you prefer bookshare? Is it because you have a membership and it's easier to download from one site? Is it because PG doesn't offer .brf or DAISY files? If there is something that would make PG better for you, I'm interested. I can't make any official changes or anything, but I can pass on suggestions. If there is a demand for Braille files, I can work on a way to implement them. Great efforts have been made so the site is easy to use for the blind. You can eventhe books online if you want. I am in no way trying to not respect your preference for bookshare. I respect them very much and think they are a great resource. I'm just wondering how Project Gutenberg could be better. If you don't want to answer, that's fine.
