Hallo Liste,

in der Newsgroup soc.libraries.talk wurde von Jon E. Noring
(noring _at__ exemplary.net) auf die Mailingliste eBook-List hingewiesen.
Vielleicht ist das interessant fuer einige Listenteilnehmer/innen.

Zur Information einige Zitate:

"eBook-List is an Internet mailing list open to all individuals and
organizations interested in developing, researching, producing,
authoring, publishing, distributing, reading, and even dreaming about
electronic books."

"The primary long-term goal of eBook-List is to assemble a linked
community of individuals and organizations (both commercial and
non-profit) which will promote:
1) the publishing of electronic books,
2) developing and marketing electronic book authoring and viewing
software for personal computers and similar devices, and 
3) developing and marketing specialized electronic book reader devices.

A second, and obviously more immediate goal, is to provide a convenient
and centralized forum by which information and ideas about electronic
books are freely exchanged."

"A partial list of topics that can be discussed on eBook-List include:

1) Electronic book publishing formats.

2) Comparison of electronic books with printed books.  Advantages and
disadvantages.

3) The social, economic and political ramifications should electronic
books become commonplace.

4) Electronic book reader platforms:  PC's, PDA's, specialized e-book
reader appliances, etc.  Vital components, such as high resolution flat
screens, are of especial interest.

5) Electronic book distribution and marketing models.

6) Publishing/Author issues, such as royalties, author control,
copyright, security, encryption, promotion, marketing, etc.

7) Cataloging/Classification of electronic books.

8) Public Domain issues.

9) Library issues.

10) Self-publication, e-book reviews, and similar topics.

11) End user/customer issues, including ergonomics, usability, etc."
