Correction: Installment 1 of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" First para after heading: "OF THE ORIGIN AND DESIGN OF GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL. WITH CONCISE REMARKS ON THE ENGLISH CONSTITUTION" second full sentence: (missing word in <b>BOLD</b>) "Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our <b>happiness</b> POSITIVELY by uniting our affections..."

I have one simple suggestion for your treatment of story collections. It would be useful to the reading if you could label each installment as either "beginning," "continued," or "end." (You already label installments as "continued.") I've found that sometimes I read the end of a story and I have no idea that it's ended, and then when the next installment comes with a new story, I discover that what I read two days earlier was the end of the previous story.

Would I have ever picked up a hard copy of Daisy Miller and taken the time to read it? Probably not. But taking it bit by bit didn't seem so daunting. I especially like the "get the next installment immediately" feature. I got caught up in the book and kept clicking away for the next snippet! One thing that I think would be an improvement would be to have both the title AND the author at the top of each segment. Here I've just read an entire book, and I'd like to recommend it to others, but I'm not sure who wrote it! I have told many friends about you; one is now reading a segment a day aloud to her kids! Thank you for making books more accessible to everybody! Who knows...perhaps in the future, scholars will rank Daily Lit right up there with the printing press for its literary importance!

We are planning on books in German, French, Spanish and Italian. We just found someone to help with preparing French books. Gabby — we will definitely be adding foreign language books.

Or do such sites exist? In my case, I'm interested in French. It would be cool to get some Jules Verne in the original in my email. Are you going to be offering books in foreign languages?
