Abstract
A personal library that fits in your pocket - it will soon exist, if Michael Hart gets his way. Hart heads Project Gutenberg (PG), the Internet´s oldest digital library. On 4 July 2006, PG turned 35. Digital libraries in academia and commercial publishing are coming of age right along with it, driven by the latest technology. But to Hart and others involved in digital libraries, the technology is the least interesting part of the story
