Great news for the upcoming iPad users. Apple today announced the addition of more than 30,000 book titles which have been added to the database and would be available for free in Apple’s iBookstore. All e-books will have the contribution from Project Gutenberg’s free digital library. Some of the top publishers have also announced the addition to the iBookstore but available for a simple fee.

Project Gutenberg, which is a volunteer supported project which a certain group of people bring efforts to digitize literature to encourage the formulation of e-Books. It has a database of more than 30,000 books which have been carefully digitized and displayed in a respectable form in various formats. The team announced the contribution of its library to iPad users for free.

All e-Books from the Project Gutenberg library would be DRM-free while paid titles would be available in Apple’s FairPlay DRM.

Apple has committed and give their word, to bring free titles to the iPad. This promise becomes reality with over 30,000 titles already added and that too for free. In the meanwhile, other publishers are ready to post paid e-books but it looks as if before we see the presence of any other paid publisher coming forward, the iBookstore library would be in full stock.

After receiving their iPad, all the user needs to do is visit the Apple App Store and download iBooks free of charge. On the other hand, we did hear something old and something which books publishers already have an issue about. Apple plans to tag the paid titles at $9.99. This price issue has already brought some major issues with Amazon’s Kindle and there seems to be some eyebrows already raised.

But a close source told that Apple has already negotiated with the publishers to launch a special price as the company launches its first ever iPad edition.
