So, let me see if I understand this. 250 public domain classics and 1000 Indies of unknown quality. On an 8gb USB key of unknown make, worth about 4€. For 25$ including postage. So if you actually read eight of the non pd works you have read about eight dollars worth (maybe) and have a four dollar USB key, which together cost you 25$.
I think I'll continue getting my pd from Gutenberg. As for the Indies, I suppose if you find something you really like it's worth it, but I'm sure they are available on an individual basis to download.
Thanks for posting, but I think I'll pass on this.
BTW, how do they justify 5$ to post it? Must weigh about 6 grams.
