Originally I thought either of these sites could help when teachers don't have enough sets of classic titles required in the curriculum (or that they could help a student who has lost or misplaced a text) but the obvious download problem makes it unusable. I would definitely not consider demonstrating either site at a staff meeting and I'd warn English teachers in advance that using either site requires a lot of patience.

Week 9:22 eBooks and Audio eBooks
Sorry, I was not impressed; although, I did like the "Best Places to Get Free Books" site. I got hits when I used the World EBook Fair site and the LibriVox site but after waiting 5 minutes for files to load (on an upgraded broadband connection) I gave up. Students wouldn't have lasted that long and at school the connection is so poor during peak hours it would be impossible to use.

Not all the tools are for everyone and some will definitely work better under certain circumstances but knowing a little about the various resources will be valuable.
