		<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>
