- Ingram announces partnership with Microsoft - To provide scanning and other services (including, let’s make this quite clear, printing and/or selling at some future point) for Google-baiting Live Book Search. Which is fine, if anyone is using Live Search.
- LibraryThing: Fifteen million books! - It’s great and all, but I still haven’t found a compelling reason to use LT. When I start using connected ebooks, and it becomes like last.fm, perhaps, but still not sure.
- Nature Precedings - Major science journal goes user-generated. ‘Pre-publication research and preliminary findings’, without peer review. Hmm. Hope to do some more on this soon… (via if:book)
- YouTube: apple ebook reader for iPod - Sensible device proposal: ebook reader as iPod accessory. Works for ebooks, and taps an already huge market. I particularly like the travel book application. (Via if:book)
- if:book on Adobe Digital Editions 1.0 - Doesn’t sound like much has changed from the beta I reviewed pretty poorly last year.
- Skoob Books - Back at the Brunswick. Fantastic news.
