NYT article upbeat on e-books–including the NYPL’s efforts

David H. Rothman writes “Sunday’s NYT Book Review will carry an upbeat article on e-books, complete with mention of the New York Public Library’s impressive 3,000-title efforts. The writer misses many of the recent developments of e-bookdom such as the debut of the $100 eBookwise-1150, a reborn Gemstar machine. And the DRM mess and the Tower of eBabel–the horrors that consumers, publishers and libraries face with conflicting proprietary formats of problematic durability and accessibility over the long term–don’t get the space they deserve. Still, it’s great to see writer Sarah Glazer showing far more of an open mind than many in the press. More at TeleRead.”
