Update: read Pete Bromberg’s intelligent post on Library Garden about Kelly’s article.
if:book has a post linking to…
1. A must-read interview with if:book’s Ben Vershbow in (or perhaps that should be “on”) Library Journal, discussing e-books, copyright, and if:book’s forthcoming product, Sophie, an e-book reader
2. An intriguing article in the NYT by Wired’s Kevin Kelly about Google’s book-scanning projects, copyright, orphans, intellectual property, and more… registration required (!)
3. Earlier posts on if:book worth reading and responding to
I want to wax philosophical, but have other writing deadlines hanging over me. However, I appreciate Ben’s point–one I’ve made myself in the past–that the libraries participating in this project bought into a monopoly without putting any pressure on Google to reveal the ways of its secret sauce.
