This article should probably be renamed to something like "World Public Library eBook collection for OLPC". Otherwise, it could be confused with the official OLPC eBook collection (if or when such a thing exists), which would doubtlessly include things from other sources, like Wikipedia, Wikibooks, or Project Gutenberg. There's no indication on the page that the collection is officially endorsed, requested, or even acknowledged by the OLPC project, but the current title implies it is ''the'' eBook collection that the OLPC project will use. —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 11:11, 14 March 2007 (EDT) |

I've made a first draft of a proper page based on the discussion here and some of my ideas. Feel free to add/change it. |

I do agree that World Public Library is a blatantly commercial site trying to get free advertising on this wiki and that the user should be treated as a spammer or site vandal. |

I'm looking at this, and can't easily access a child's book to read my baby. I'm redirecting the links on this page to project gutenburg. Also, I recommend that the author of this page create an account so he or she can clarify what they are offering. Since acces to the books being offered by this organization require a fee for access, I'd recommend IP blocking this user in a couple weeks if these problems aren't corrected. -Jeff 19:25, 9 March 2007 (EST)

I've made a first draft of a proper page based on the discussion here and some of my ideas. Feel free to add/change it.
I do agree that World Public Library is a blatantly commercial site trying to get free advertising on this wiki and that the user should be treated as a spammer or site vandal.
