The big action these days is in romance&#8212;titles like Mistletoe Cinderella, shown here. In Recession fuels readers’ escapist urges, Times staffer Motoko Rich writes: Romance novels [...]]]></description>

But spread the hardware around, and the number of potential readers will grow, beyond those who, for example, frequent bookstores. The key is for the publishing industry to seize on these new opportunities, [...]]]></description>

This year there were changes to the qualifications for the RITA awards, including one that effectively eliminates e-books from competing. The RITA contest will not be open to any book that is not &#8220;mass-produced by a non-Subsidy, non-Vanity Publisher in print book format.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

And even then, catches abound. But that hasn&#8217;t stopped the public library in well-off Sparta, New Jersey, 50 miles from NYC.
