Hmm, what does "ebook" mean in this context exactly?

Gutenberg has a heck of a lot more than 35k digital texts of books, I consider them all 'ebooks'. What does Gutenberg consider 'ebooks' exactly?

Hello Matt:

There are 35,224 records in this bzip file from Project Gutenberg:

http://www.gutenberg.org/feeds/catalog.marc.bz2

from this page:

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Offline_Catalogs

It is their complete eBook collection and they say the file is updated
daily.

Hi Code4Lib-ers,

I want to chime in and say that I, too, enjoyed the streaming archive
from
the conference.

I also have a question: my library has a horribly antiquated A to Z
list
of
databases and online resources (it's based in Access). We'd like to do
something that looks more modern and is far more user friendly. I found
a
great article in the Code4Lib journal (issue 12, by Danielle Rosenthal
&
Mario Bernado) about building a searchable A to Z list using Drupal.
I'm
also wondering what other institutions have done as far as in-house
solutions. I know there're products we could buy, but, like everyone
else,
we don't have much money at the moment.

Thanks for any info or advice!
