Project Gutenberg Founder Dies

This week, Michael Hart died. He is arguably the first eBook publisher--in 1971, he published the Declaration of Independence on the computer network at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. He dedicated his life to establishing and continuing Project Gutenberg--more than 36,000 free eBooks representing over 100 languages.
