		<description><![CDATA[I was blog post by new media phobic&#160; writer, Nicolas Carr, a guy who though he himself uses new media as a platform for his writing is nonetheless critical of everything digital. His latest target is e-books. 
More specifically, he ponders whether being able to edit on-the-fly is a good things since a book is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[E-readers are perhaps most innovative creation since log furniture and, while e-readers are helping Amazon expand its publishing business, Barnes &#38; Noble is getting out of direct publishing. That’s right, pretty soon, B&#38;N will not be publishing anymore Barnes and Noble Classics or anything else. It seems the the big book retailers is planning to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I said that even though I was firmly against the “agency model” for pricing e-books, I did not believe that Apple colluded with publishers. Well… as the lawsuit against Apple and the mainstream publishers moves forward, information has come to light to make me rethink my initial conclusion. If we roll up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mainstream publishers still don’t get it: book buyers do not want to pay more than $10 for an e-book.&#160; They are deluding themselves if they believe jacking-up ebook prices is a good idea.
