Many of our MobileRead faithful are also fans of the
TeleRead blog because they do a fantastic job over there at covering e-book news and fighting the good fight to communicate the impact of DRM issues and format dispersion. You may have heard of the phrase "Tower of eBabel" which was coined by TeleRead's David Rothman.
At any rate, some of you have probably already noticed that you haven't been able to get to the site for a bit. Robert Nagle has contacted me to share that the temporary outage is due to a fire at their hosting service, and they are currently working on their recovery. They are hoping to have the site back up today, but even if it takes a while longer you can be confident they will be back.
Our best wishes go out to David, Robert and the whole team over at TeleRead for a speedy site recovery.
