The iPad iBookstore already includes 30,000 free eBooks from Project Gutenberg, according to AppAdvice.
Recently AppAdvice was presented a not-so-NDA-complying preview of the store and found that out of the 32 eBooks featured in the New York Time’s Bestsellers section, 27, including the entire top 10 are priced at $9.99.
Now they are reporting that the iBookstore already features the Gutenberg Project catalog for free.
Well, when checking out Apple’s iBookstore, I noticed that Apple has decided to include these directly. I obviously haven’t had the chance to count them, but it appears that the entire catalog is available for free download.
