• The good, the bad, the inevitable????

Let's face it, books are yesterday's
technology--bulky, environmentally suspect,
impermanent, expensive, hard to find, forever out
of print, slow to produce, slow to write and
slow to read, and a strain on the eye."

FOUR PUBLISHERS TO SELL E-BOOKS THROUGH
YAHOO Four major publishers (Simon Schuster,
Random House, Penguin Putnam, and HarperCollins)
will sell their digital books on an Internet
through the Yahoo.com site, an arrangement which
Yahoo executive Rob Solomon suggests is
attractive to the publishers because Yahoo has a
"neutral status, like Switzerland, and is not
part of a major media company." For its services,
Yahoo will receive sales commissions and book
promotion fees. The book division of AOL Time
Warner is the only top publishing companies that
has declined to participate in the deal that
division's chairman, Laurence Kirschbaum, said
"Given the fact that sales of electronic books
are not running away, we have to question whether
we need to expand right now. Our focus right now
is on AOL." (New York Times 5 Sep
