		<description><![CDATA[It’s always a probem to know how to describe a character’s physical appearance. Often the best course is to say as little as possible, especially if it isn’t relevant to the plot. Better for the reader to form his or her own picture. The more effort the reader puts into this, the more personal and [...]]]></description>

Here is what he says: The hegemony of the traditional publishing industry is crumbling, and not before time. Who knows how many wonderful books have fallen victim to the faulty opinion of overworked and underqualified publishers’ readers? Who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So says a fascinating blog post by Donald Clark. Here are a few excerpts, and I suggest you read the whole thing. He makes a lot of sense, especially when he talks about publishers confusing the medium with the content. I must also admit that I&#8217;ve had some of the same thoughts about libraries myself.

		<description><![CDATA[An often overlooked feature of most e-book displays is the ability to change the size of the font. Especially in recent years, I have noticed that the average font-size in p-books has been getting smaller and line-spacing has decreased, making the text harder to read for anyone without good eyesight. Years ago, I remember searching [...]]]></description>

The editor, Stephen Fender, has provided copious notes, tagged in the text with scores of asterisks. Some of these notes are very interesting; others less so. A few are even, to an experienced reader, a bit insulting. I don&#8217;t need to be told: &#8220;Spartan-like: [...]]]></description>
