Book People Archive

Newton Books, Library and reader programs (and Alice and etext archive)

There was a recent article on a Newton emulator over on Slashdot.org --- the 
most interesting thing out of it to me was mention of an extension for Firefox 
which allows one to read Newton Books from within Firefox:

There's a fair collection of Newton books, so people who're travelling w/ a 
laptop and want a new source of books to read may find this of interest.

(Disclaimer, it's said to be alpha quality and I've not tried d/l'ing it yet)

Aside on the Alice bit --- there is a site, ``The Etext Archives'' which has 
attempted to preserve much of what was once available on BBSs:

http://www.etext.org/index.shtml

It doesn't look like Alice1.0.txt is there unfortunately, but perhaps someone 
there has a copy but didn't upload 'cause a more recent version was available 
elsewhere.
