Your thumbnail of the Iliad is of the Robert Fagles translation, which is not in the public domain.
I'm not sure that many people would want MORE email.
Years ago, I did something like this with Samuel Pepys' diary. I didn't get more than a week in and then I forgot. It was easy to get overwhelmed with the backlog and then I unsubscribed from the RSS feed.
I'm not sure that people have "no time for books." There's plenty of time for books. People are just not in the habit. There are ways to get into the habit, but I don't know that one page at a time is the easiest way.
Oh! Thanks for the note on the cover. Will change that. Don't want any nasty letters about copyright.
So, I agree re: the habit. I'm out of the habit, but I'm definitely in the habit of reading my email, so I guess the idea is bringing the content to where the people are.
Definitely not clear yet if this will be 'a thing'
Slightly OT, but if you want to read Samuel Pepys there’s a Twitter account at https://twitter.com/samuelpepys which is posting his diary in (more or less) real-time as if he had been tweeting rather than writing a diary. It works surprisingly well, and was honestly quite moving as they went through the Great Fire of London a while back.
