Hi
Another consideration is the reading age of the books. This tip I found useful:
You can use the grammar checker of MS Word to find the Flesch-Kincaid reading

I made a (very) little survey:
- the Alice in wonderland (with Illustrations) is 1.7 MB in size
- other epub books I found, probably text only, lies in between 100 to 300 K
- Sdenka_Salas_-_The_XO_Laptop_in_the_Classroom.pdf is 5.6 MB
- I added a spreadsheet made out of pootle latest statistics

http://www.mingoville.com/ based in Denmark I believe claims over 1

and learning styles and the idea of making your own book in eToys as
described in Using the XO in the Classroom by Salas Pico.

sorry to keep the off-topic on topic, :-), but in my experience the
possibility to access stuff in English is one of the biggest calls for Sugar

Sebastian,

Once I realized that in that site there weren't non EN titles you I just made
a quick Google-search for multilingual ebooks sites.
My point is limitated to suggesting to evaluate the opportunity to put a little

Yes, very important to show Sugar supporting local languages & cultures.
I think the best way forward is for all of us to find 1-2 EPUB eBooks
in languages other than English; manageable number of books to preload

Cheers,

Hi all,
