01/05/2005: "The new book club"

Russle Beattle put an idea for serializing books out Monday.

I just had an idea for a system where you could choose any one of the public domain eBooks out there and have a small chunk delivered daily via RSS. Many of us are too busy to read classic books out there, instead choosing "page turners" or books that are more applicable to our every day lives (like a some new marketing book). But we do have time to zip through our aggregator daily, right? So by taking a 500 page novel and distributing it, a few pages at a time, via RSS, we could read a new book in a month or so without even trying.

Combine this with Google Library, and perhaps some decent text-to-speech software, and a new vector of podcasting/publishing is possible.
