Over at Electric Forest, I’ve posted some thoughts about the cross-platform e-reading issue growing out of the post on that subject here, but focusing on the thread: What format(s) should digital librarians provide e-books in? And: What are the major concerns in determining the choices? If the formats chosen by commercial publishers determine this, won’t every Linux user be excluded from the digital library? In the Tower of eBabel, amid all the e-book formats out there, Linux users have not fared as well as they should.
That is really an ongoing issue, and the Electronic Forest post only voices a few concerns. Everyone should feel free to offer whatever information and opinions pertain to this at Electric Forest. And here, too, of course.
