I'm glad they noted that we'll be able to highlight, etc, so they won't be restricted, like samples are. But whether or not Amazon will have them up for us to see on our My Kindle stuff page in the cloud, or locally in our My Clippings file, without buying the book, will depend on a couple of things, I guess. First, whether or not we've chosen the option to have our stuff backed up on the cloud to begin with. (I never have.) Second, while I expect our highlights will stay in the "my clippings" file, just like they do for other deleted books, I'm not sure if bookmarks, notes will...? Do our notes go into the My Clippings file, or just the .mbp file? And I can't remember what happens with the .mbp file when we delete a book from the Kindle... does it always stay on the Kindle in case we put the book back on? I think it does. Quote:
It also sounds like it'll be sent to our account, so it'll be in the archive, easily available for every device on the account. Otherwise, Overdrive would have to know our PIDs/Aps to send it to. This is going to be so much easier than messing with ADE or Mobipocket PIDs. Last edited by Piper_; 04-20-2011 at 06:08 PM. Reason: left out a word |

As an author, would you go with any of the agency 6 and let them over price your eBook or would you try to go with one of them and try to get a reasonable eBook price in the contract?

I wonder if this explains the dramatic price increases Overdrive will be charging libraries starting 2012. The annual account administration fees are doubling for some libraries next year and then doubling again for 2013.

If the content is what's relevant and not just the format, I'm hoping when we check out an eBook from the library that we can pick from the available Overdrive formats. That way if the library has PDF when an other format exists we can get one of the other formats instead of having to request that another format be purchased.

Matzoh... I know that... fake unleavened bread which it has absolutely no resemblance to. I am Jewish and I know that Matzoh is not really unleavened bread. What we should have instead is bread without the yeast since what the Jews had back then was bread that had all the ingredients yet did no rise. It has nothing to do with flour.

Why are they doubling only for some libraries? Is this because of Amazon?

This sounds like it is going to be a mess.

No, more likely that's because they have a monopoly...
