In my International Education Department plan, I want to digitalize all books, magazines, standard information and so on, request all publishers to hand out digital version while they make the publish and save the digital version on pay to read web and the anti-flood, anti-earthquake and anti-magnet database for recover civilization after disaster.

Google Books has already taken the action first and offer the web library service. The readers may find the interesting books with diverse research functions. They also may read part or whole book without extra reading equipment according the book view setting of writers or publishers.

I have already put my books to make the necessary support.
“Our Holy Mission: Change the World “: paperback include CD, $NT350/per (Does not include TAX & shipping)
Chinese Traditional Version: http://books.google.com/books?id=cH2sMv6PfQ8C&pg=PA65&dq=9789574164493&hl=zh-TW#v=onepage&q=&f=false
Chinese Simplified Version: http://books.google.com/books?id=mKZiLa-wnAoC&pg=PA67&dq=9789574165155&hl=zh-TW#v=onepage&q=&f=true

I sat 20% of the book view and found that three versions present different parts might according random setting. Google reduced the viewing quality for speed open the books but the quality is OK to all readers even the presbyopia group (some people in the group buy bigger computer screen and read with bigger font for easier reading).

My favorite traveling port is library. While I go a new place, I visit the local library for a look naturally. During the International conference in Boston of USA, I visited Boston library for enjoying the web surfing with my notebook computer in the library as well. I often imagine that I live a learning tower which has the library and various classes when I was young. So I may easily take the elevator to the classes I like. Recently, I got a dream: I flied in and out of the library. People are surprised by my flying ability.

For my reading desire, I lend books everywhere and subscribed free books include religion publications and mail Bible course and live in “The best happiness is to do something good” environment when I was little. I. I subscribed English newsletters, such as news, horoscope, joke and cards, for improve my English ability and lived in laughing all the time while I getting elder. Because of speed reading ability, I can read about 20 Chinese books or 10 English books a day. So I lend 40 books once with all family library cards whenever I visited Taipei Library. However, after getting presbyopia symptom, I don’t feel well to read books with my weird sight. I started to enjoy reading EBooks. I read a lot of great books in Google Books and had nice days.

I plan to sell my books in Google Editions next year. If Google Editions don’t offer high quality view service, I will suggest them to make it that way because we would pay for the high quality viewing enjoyment while we have already got used to such kind of web surfing, wouldn’t we?
