[PW] Re: A Standard eBook Format? - A Graduate Research Survey

[Michael Hart]

I'm wondering why this effort does not include "A Standard Book Format."

After all, many libraries have to have certain shelving units dedicated
to different sizes of paper books.

Is this any different that different programs to read .pdf file, etc???



Thanks!!!

Give the world eBooks in 2006!!!

This survey will be used to forecast the success of a proposed eBook standard file format and whether a standard eBook format will solve any existing issues.
