Thank you for putting your book online and making it freely available.

To answer one of your comments Staff_lounge : submitting to WIKI looks like a lotta work.

Yes, submitting 1800 files will take a bit of work. But *you* don't have to do the work.

I suggest that you post a note on your web site. Make the note say that you release the book into the public domain. (Or make it license the book according to the GFDL.) (Creative Commons is another popular license, but other wiki are better set up to handle CC content than Wikibooks). Then if only 10% of the people who hit your web site take a few minutes to copy a page or two from your web site to the wiki, it could all be copied in a month, without "a lot of work" from any one person. (Or perhaps one person who sees that note will write a little bot to copy your entire book into Wikibooks in one swoop).

Perhaps you could create the first page of your book on Wikibooks. Then once that page exists, you could add the exact URL of that page to the note on your web site.

Thank you for considering this wiki as a long-term home for your EPE book.

Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page.

Good luck!
