This is according to the Association of American Publishers.

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no shortage of authors who hate ebooks. Today, it&#8217;s Jonathan Franzen. It&#8217;s ironic that as much as he hates ebooks, all of his novels are available in digital format on Amazon, for $9.99 each. I&#8217;m not shy about saying that I love Franzen&#8217;s work. The Corrections is a great novel and I encourage everyone [...]

In a previous post Why You Shouldn&#8217;t Get Too Excited About Apple&#8217;s iBooks 2 Textbooks, I argued that e-textbooks won&#8217;t catch on anytime soon because not everyone has an iPad, and the high price will be prohibitive for many students to buy one. This is especially true for poorer school [...]

I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve been reading an ebook, only to find that there is a page missing, a duplicate page, bad formatting, duplicate paragraphs, or other obvious errors. This begs the question: Where is ebook quality control? [...]
