OeBF: Open eBook Folly? "Most members of the ebook industry are familiar with Teleread.org and especially its driving force, David Rothman. Whether you agree or disagree with his positions, his weblog is always an entertaining read. Recently, Rothman highlighted a survey of ebook readers KnowBetter.com and Electronic Book Web jointly conducted in 2002 to bolster the position he has taken against the Open eBook Forum (OeBF). In his blog article, Rothman argues against an OeBF dominated by Microsoft and Adobe, in favor of a trade organization representing a more independent view: Simply put, it's time for publishers and others to start a new trade organization with book folks and outfits like eBookWeb and KnowBetter.com setting the tone rather than the software giants that created the mess." 10:48:11 PM |
Post-OeBF: Two replacement groups to drive up e-book sales--and help the world along the way "U.S. schools are crying out for up-to-date textbooks, and the kids are relying more and more on the Internet as a research tool. Yet a well-stocked national digital library system is but a dream right now. Meanwhile in India, in Latin America, in Africa, university students line up for scarce copies of paper library books. Oh, and don't forget another little detail: E-book sales are a disgraceful $10-$12 million a year, a fraction of Tom Clancy's typical annual income. Ten million is just speck of a speck of the tens of billions of the yearly revenue from p-books. Can't someone connect the dots and truly look ahead to the future?" TeleRead.org 10:40:44 PM |

Flera faktorer ligger bakom den kraftiga uppgången: Antalet förlag som publicerar e-böcker har blivit fler, e-bokssortimentet har utvidgats och det har tillkommit fler bibliotek som tillhandahåller e-boktjänsten på sina hemsidor.
