hi id like to build an e-book collection but i dont know what i need to do to do that. for example, i love poetry, and i see project guttenburg is filled with it. however, ill be honest, i don't trust the kindle format. if your a computer nerd like me, you probably have seen the best of sites disappear. i don't know if kindle will be around in 10 years.

i don't want to build my e-book collection on a 'fad' format. you dont even own your kindle books. so my queston to you is, how do i correctly download a project guttenburg book so ive actaully downloaded it. so if i ever need to reinstall my operating system, my book will be there with no drm. what software do i need?
