This ties in with the previous post I made. Interesting read on the free software and ebooks available such that even the kids using the OLPC can benefit. Imagine going back to India and helping kids learn with the OLPC. It'll be an experience. With so much freedom the kids will probably have more questioning and freer attitudes.

There are free books to be had, though. The Internet Archive currently has one million books available for free, and the nonprofit continues to add to its library at a rate of 1,000 books a day. There are also thousands of free books available through sites like Gutenberg.org, Manybooks.net and Feedbooks.com.
