If you need another batch of books to add to your database, Project Gutenburg might be a good place to start. They provide an archive of all the ebooks they currently have here:

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Information_About_Robot_Access_to_our_Pages#Getting_All_EBook_Files

~14.5 GB of public domain writing

Good stuff. Lots of classics that people are likely to have read or heard of. ~21000 titles

The team is aware of the site (it's been mentioned a few times on the forums, but I'm too lazy to search any topics up. XD), though what they plan on doing with sites like that is up to them (and i don't exactly remember what they said anyways...  >_>).  However, since the plan is to get as many books into the database as they can (once things are to that point...), I'm sure any sources that let the BookLamp team bypass using a book scanner will be highly considered.  Wink
