A painful but essential post

By David Rothman

In a few minutes, I’ll be offering my thoughts on the OpenReader e-book standard in the wake of Jon Noring’s new relationship with a California entrepreneur. As a cofounder of the OpenReader Consortium, I’ll tell what OpenReader needs to survive as a nonproprietary standard. The gist of my personal opinions: Jon over the years has been one of the heroes of the e-book industry, and OpenReader is valuable and fixable—but only if at least three conditions are met, now that Jon will do business and technical development for David Cote, a co-owner of DigitalPulp Publishing and other companies. Please withhold comments, public or private, until the post appears.
