This won't make much sense to those outside the U.S.A., but Drew A.
Kaplan has bought back the DAK Industries name and is trying to revive
it. (The short version: in the late 80's-early 90's he *owned* the
catalog sales market for strange electronic devices manufactured by
companies that never did market research, but the large banks he was
dealing with saw debts mounting and cut off his credit line.) He has a
website at <http://www.freebooks5000.com/> that's selling cheap e-book
collections to those who *clearly* have never heard of Project
Gutenberg in an attempt to get a mailing list going again. Is there a
chance that one of our Newton e-book folks could look over one of these
disks and see if there's anything worth converting?
