[Learninginhand.com] learninginhand.com Blog: Thirty-five handhelds were part of Palisades Middle School's grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. According to the article, the project had to be developed from scratch and "the end result was a thick packet of worksheets for the students to complete, starting with vocabulary definitions of watershed-related terms and continuing to explain what a watershed is, what kind of life can be found there, and more."
[Cebooks.blogspot.com] Pocket PC eBooks / iPod Watch: find free and commercial eBook ...: . Honest people tend to behave honestly, and rational honest people need a good excuse to behave dishonestly. If eBooks are priced low enough, there is no incentive for fraud. For example a CD costs about $0.30 to produce, and the musician gets less than a dollar, yet they have a retail price that is ten dollars higher. If they were priced at $3.00 Napster would have been a failure. This is why pricing an eBook at a price below that of a paperback makes better sense than pricing it at the level of a hardcover. Since over 60% of a pBook’s costs are printing and distribution, and since these are totally unnecessary for an eBook where distribution is electronic, the rational price for an eBook is about $6.00, and at that price there is little reason to worry about publishing’s Napsterization.
[1src.com] 1src Forums - How many eBooks have you read?: I mainly buy eReader or multiformat, but I own a few books in Mobipocket (mainly reference books like encyclopedias) and just a few in Adobe. I had such a horrid time with Adobe I've sworn off buying them again (getting the DRM set up was absolute he**, and then I had one book I tried to download multiple times over 3 days until it finally told me I'd downloaded it too many times - none successful though - and I gave up and insisted they give me my money back).
[Rohdesign.com] Rohdesign Weblog: Category Archives: Books: This Friday, I heard from Dan Royea, that Cory had a new book out called A Place So Foreign and 8 More, a compilation of 9 short sci-fi stories he'd written. Even better, Cory is following the success of his freely downloadable Down and Out e-book with a downloadable e-book version of A Place So Foreign.
[Teleread.org] TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home: Bookeen is working to get Adobe on the Cybook (apparently not with DRM), and a Cybook review from ZDnet says: "The company also tells us that a version of eReader, which can read DRMd PDB format files, is being developed for the Cybook." That's great. Let's help readers cope with the Here Now while awaiting the OpenReader solution.
