		<description><![CDATA[Flexibility helps keep us healthy. We can better enjoy physical activity which, in turn, motivates us to exercise. Keep on stretchin&#8217;! Likewise, a flexible digital publication format is much better for the industry&#8212;and for readers&#8212;than a rigid, limited one. To be more precise, a flexible format is more likely to be embraced, due to business [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been quite perplexed in reading the many comments about IDPF&#8217;s &#8220;ePub&#8221; format following the release late last year of its underlying specs. A number of very smart people, including several developers who naturally dig deeply into tech specs, have painted ePub as a dark and mysterious digital publication (e-book) format, unlike anything else [...]]]></description>

Either I was good at collecting, or just lucky. I found and acquired several large jazz and blues collections (a total of over 100,000 records, about 25 tons, passed through my fingers), and didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
