What needs to be done to take this forward? Could someone help with the 
technology and website etc? Maybe we could look around for volunteers 
willing to work on getting the e-texts readied, or seek permission from 
those publishers willing to share their current texts.

Permit me to copy this to two networks -- BytesForAll, which has people 
interested in making computing relevant to the commonman (what better 
way than spreading e-books!) and IndicComputing, a networking working to 
get Indian language computing going in this part of the globe. Once we get 
that critical piece of the jigsaw in place, it could open up lots of 
possibilities. Including for Project Gutenberg (http://gutenberg.net). FN
