"Brewster Kahle of the San Francisco-based Internet Archive announced today 
that all 1.6 million books scanned and digitized by the Archive will be 
available for reading on XO laptops built by the Cambridge, MA-based One 
Laptop Per Child Foundation. The announcement came during a session on 
electronic books and electronic publishing at the Boston Book Festival. 
Kahle said the Archive has been collaborating with OLPC for a year to format 
the e-books for display on the XO laptops, some 750,000 of which are in use 
by children in developing countries."
