Here's a list of the Top 100 downloaded books from Project Gutenberg.Notice the link at the top of the page which states:
Did you know that you can help us produce ebooks by proof-reading just one page a day? Go to: Distributed Proofreaders
The mission of DP is the digitization of Public Domain books into Project Gutenberg.
I have been proofing pages for DP for a month now and find the "work" very engaging and rewarding. The concentration necessary to proof the pages takes me right out of my everyday life and transports my attention to the printed page. The software used at DP is simply amazing and everything about the operation is highly organized and simplified. There is a proofreading forum and a wiki which puts me in touch with all the other proofreaders from around the world. All the workers from project managers to P1 proofreaders are volunteers.
Here's the link to Distributed Proofreaders. You can look around the site and at the Smooth Reading Pool Preview without signing in. Give it a look-in!
