The saga of internet piracy continues. Click to read about cafescribe and bitorrent. One prof mentions buying electronic publishing rites, I am unfamiliar with that.
Textbooks are a subject of interest to all of us, have you looked at KINDLE? After tries by RCA and others Amazon is betting this will be a go.
Sony thinks their Reader will take off. It uses actual ink on the screen to form the characters for easier reading. Critics note the library selections are too small.
Me, I suspect they will hot have much luck selling the reader. A textbook company needs to seize on this,offering the reader bundled with the on line textbooks to download to the readers. And as fast as iPhone is multiplying with extras, an MP3 and video player needs to somehow be part of the reader or as I say it simply needs to be near free with the deal.
