:Thanks for telling me. :-) What I mean is the name "virtual library" is applied to two slightly different things. You have virtual libraries with images files (Google Books) and virtual libraries with text files (Project Gutenberg). Text file libraries are not as common as image files libraries, but are far more interesting to the average user. [[User:Hugo Voisard|Hugo Voisard]] 22:34, 22 December 2007 (CST)
