Yep. I appreciate how there are so many open source projects whose interests align to naturally work together at different layers toward a future of better curation:
1. Open Library providing a database of book titles, authors, and other metadata (unlike Goodreads, etc. whose databases are proprietary).
2. Internet Archive, Google Books, and Hathitrust scanning books and making full scans available for download as copyrights expire.
3. Project Gutenberg, PGDP, etc. transcribing scans and unscanned books to digital text.
4. Standard Ebooks applying a consistent style guide and providing additional cleanup and proofreading, attractive covers, and more detailed HTML and EPUB metadata.
