When GOOGLE teams up withIndependent Bookstores
there's a good reason. From theNewYork Times: SAN FRANCISCO:
Independent bookstores were battered first by discount chains like Barnes & Noble, then by super-efficient Web retailers like Amazon.com. Now the electronic book age is dawning. With this latest challenge, these stores will soon have a new ally: the search giant Google. =======================
From Radio and Internet Guru
Kim Komando's Daily News: Say goodbye to shelves of dusty old books! Thanks to e-readers like the Kindle, Nook and Sony’s Reader, e-books are taking off. You’re not limited to a few titles. You can download the latest best-sellers. And, you’ll find thousands of free e-books online.
==================
Wall Street Journal - Life & Styles: Here's more news about the growing popularity of e-books: SAN FRANCISCO—Libraries are expanding e-book offerings with out-of-print editions, part of a broader effort to expand borrowing privileges in the Internet Age that could challenge traditional ideas about copyright. Starting Tuesday, a group of libraries led by the Internet Archive, a nonprofit digital library, are joining forces to create a one-stop website for checking out e-books, including access to more than a million scanned public domain books and a catalog of thousands of contemporary e-book titles available at many public libraries.======================
