The announcement I highlighted yesterday about Better World Books/ Internet Archive fails to give you two important pictures: ONE of the Better World Books warehouses (so you see the volume we're talking about) and this photo of the FIRST batch of books to be scanned. 
Here's the announcement of the acquisition of Better World Books by Better World Libraries (an Internet Archive affiliated non-profit) blog.archive.org/2019/11/06/for… and the fact that we are seeking funds to help pay for the millions of books we intend to scan archive.org/donate
And this would be a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY good time to sign up for @openlibrary (It's at openlibrary.org ) to be able to check out books using Controlled Digital Lending. One page, one book, and getting a library card for it is very easy. Did you know?
Open Library was a project started by Aaron Swartz working with @alexisrossi and @brewster_kahle aaronsw.com/weblog/openlib… and the project continues in his memory, bigger than he might have even imagined. openlibrary.org/authors/OL7167…
If you're in the SF area, Aaron Swartz Day is happening on November 9th. aaronswartzday.org - tomorrow would have been his 33rd birthday.
