British Library is now all set to accentuate e-reading with the classics of the 19th century. Eventually, the best work of the past century will be digitized to usher the e-world into the best reading experience. The ace library is offering more than 65000 classics of the 19th century for free e-book downloads. The first edition of these e-books will feature original typeface and illustrations . I can’t wait to scan the likes of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy on my Kindle. Microsoft deserves accolades for sponsoring this project, which will promote the best literature of 1800s in the e-world. The classic e-books will be made available in the Spring.
