What it lacks is a user interface which allows younger users to easily browse through their collection of e-books on their XO. It also lacks a book retrieval mechanism; its sole purpose is the viewing of documents.

**[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Get_Internet_Archive_Books Get Internet Archive Books][http://github.com/internetarchive/bookserver (Git Repository)] is capable of retrieving books from multiple repositories, with only minor code ~~changes~~.

**[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Get_Internet_Archive_Books Get Internet Archive Books][http://github.com/internetarchive/bookserver (Git Repository)] is capable of retrieving books from multiple repositories, with only minor changes to the code required.

**[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Read_Etexts Read Etexts] is an Activity which started as a generic text file reader for Project Guttenberg files and has grown to include a built-in catalog of tens of thousands of Project Guttenberg's books.
