Ciao Xavier & John It interests me a lot to LEVERAGE off the the huge e-text repositories that now exists. Many of them have very fair copyright regulations that allow their e-texts to be used, often without even acknowledgement.
I suspect that an initiative around this, which there are often, in this list, intimations of, could get TW much more widely used. In another thread I have pointed to a couple of things that would help. At the moment its not so easy to make a "semi-edtibable" TW. I think it would be MOST RELEVANT for e-texts to allow addition of (1) notes (2) bookmarks. But WITHOUT the rest of the editing system.
