Skippi from Slovakia

Skippi wrote to the eBook-Community forum: “We do not have any e-book business or servers promoting free texts. We have decided for
the first time to stream on-line a public event in which distinguished national authors will read from their works. These excerpts, or the whole book, if the author/publisher will permit, will be then freely
published on the Internet together with the video stream of the author reading from it.”
On March 3, he wrote: “Readings were recorded yesterday, currently I am preparing a new site for them, making streams and composing
e-books from the texts that were performed. The event went great, but the fact is, readings are in Slovak from the Slovak books. The site should be ready by next week and I will definitely let you know about
it.
The next readings are scheduled on the next Thursday but since wecannot stream live (no connectivity on site and I still haven’t found
out how), that does not matter.
So what I can provide you with is a link to the site when it will beready and a short description/report from the project in English,
because I think it is an interesting idea for something that has not been done before.”
