A little about the history of the name “TeleRead”

TeleRead goes back to the early 1990s when David Rothman wrote about a “TeleRead” proposal for a national digital library for Computerworld and then used CompuServe and the Net to distribute his proposal. TeleRead in that sense is a proposal for well-stocked national digital library systems in the United States and elsewhere. But nowadays TeleRead also means this e-book site, to which you can contribute even if you don’t believe in the cause.
