If you mean the 1 1/2 page Press Release, answer is -- digging deeper. I couldn't figure out from that the real impact of the ruling. Does it destroy Overdrive's European business model by allowing libraries to buy eBooks at consumer prices? Does it keep everything the same except that libraries using Overdrive (or a competitor) have to pay an additional fee to authors? Does it just apply to eBook titles not now specifically marketed to libraries? Or is it none of the above?

As to other English language news articles, beyond that in ars technica uk, I can't find them.

UPDATE: Looks like it was released in English while I slept. Will load on my Kindle and read on transit on way to work:
