      I appreciate the heck out of the Gutenberg project but holy crap they need to invest some resources into putting 1/5 of the amount of effort Standard Ebooks puts into making every single one of their releases look and function so well in the real ebook reading scenarios of actual people

      Honestly if the Gutenberg project had such a program for improving the formatting of their collection I would actually strongly consider volunteering some time towards it. Just like how I would not mind reading for Librivox

        Project Gutenberg has around 50 times more than Standard Ebooks (~75 000 vs. ~1 400) and in a lot of different languages, Standard Ebooks only cares about English. Putting only 1/5 of the amount of work into it would be a drop in the bucket.

        Edit: In general I agree, it’s hard to figure out how to contribute to Project Gutenberg.

          I bet the top ten percent of titles on Gutenberg make up 90% of downloads.
