I'm puzzled about Wikisource vs. Project Gutenberg.

Wikisource is NOT an ebook-library. It's a library of historical sources. As exact to the original as possible. It's made for historical research in the first place.

Project Gutenberg on the other hand aims to put out readable books, and doesn't care about which source they're from, as long as they're in the public domain.
